Certificate of visual impairment (CVI) registration is the registration of patients deemed to be sight impaired or severely sight impaired. Registration takes place on the recommendation of the consultant ophthalmologists at Moorfields, following discussion with the patient.
How we can help
The patient support officers in the CVI registration and patient information team:
- see the patients following their consultation with the ophthalmologists at Moorfields,
- guide the patients through the CVI registration process,
- listen to the patient’s concerns and provide relevant information to meet individual needs, for example, regarding access to work, benefits, practical help, etc,
- signpost patients to, for example, social services, appointed and other agencies,
- provide up-to-date information leaflets on a range of issues related to sight impairment, benefits, support groups, etc, and
- provide a display of useful gadgets/aids, to encourage patients/relatives to explore their usage to aid independence.
