The area of rehabilitation is something in which I have an interest. Unfortunately, there are people diagnosed with sight loss for whom it is a permanent diagnosis in the sense that there is nothing Professor Keegan and his people can do to restore their sight. What benefits will this model have for people diagnosed with sight loss in terms of effective rehabilitation that will allow them to live as independent a life as possible? What difference will the model make to the rehabilitation process compared with what exists at the moment in other areas?
