What happens with my certification and registration if my sight improves?
If your sight improves you will no longer qualify for certification. Your consultant ophthalmologist should write a letter to your GP and local authority informing them that you are no longer certified.
If you are registered your local authority should make arrangements to de-register you.
If you need further information about CVI's please view all the questions in the Registering sight loss section of this FAQ as it contains a range of questions around CVI's.
