Sight Support West of England's exciting Eye Can exhibitions offer an opportunity for people with sight loss, their family, friends and professionals to gain a greater knowledge of the support available to them. They bring together providers of technology, advice & guidance, health & wellbeing, and education - all under one roof. Each exhibition also includes a program of talks covering a diverse range of topics. Our renowned Q&A sessions, led by professionals, provide valuable insights and answers to even the trickiest of questions. Previous exhibitions have seen in excess of 130 visitors.
