Support for patients with low vision and accessibility
Reduced vision changes daily life and makes appointments more complicated. We aim to make consultations simpler and direct you towards available support.
Before the appointment
Tell the reception desk about visual impairment or reduced mobility when booking, so that reception arrangements and consultation time can be adapted. You may come with someone; they can attend the consultation if you wish.
During the consultation
Take time to ask your questions. You can ask for important information (eye drops, future appointments) to be repeated aloud or written in large print.
Reading aids on this website
A button Accessibility, at the bottom left of each page, lets you enlarge or reduce the text, increase contrast (including black and yellow), choose a serif font or a highly legible font designed for low vision, underline links and increase text spacing. Your choices are saved on your device. The ‘Explain medical terms’ mode displays a short definition when you hover over or tap specialist terms, with a link to the glossary.
Aids for daily living
For low vision, rehabilitation (low vision rehabilitation, orthoptics, occupational therapy), optical aids and technical devices may be prescribed. The local disability service (MDPH) or health insurance fund (caisse d’assurance maladie) may grant entitlements (disability card, allowances, adaptations). The team guides you and your doctor completes the necessary certificates.
Associations and resources
Organisations supporting blind and partially sighted people offer a listening ear, equipment and training. For access to each practice, see accessibility and our locations.
Frequently asked questions
Can I bring my guide dog?
Yes, guide dogs are admitted to places open to the public.
Who completes local disability service (MDPH) applications?
The doctor completes the medical section; the application is submitted by the patient or a relative, with help from a social worker if needed.
Can I get help reading my prescriptions?
Ask the reception desk for a large-print document.
