Supporting sight impaired people to lead independent lives.

We support over 12,000 visually impaired people across Kent, Medway, Bromley and surrounding areas. 

Get support

We believe that anyone who is sight impaired should be able to live a fulfilled and independent life. We provide personalised support services to adults and children, and whenever they need our help. Our support includes undertaking assessments, one-to-one support and help with assistive technologies. People can also get support through our counselling service and volunteer befrienders.

Help and advice

We can help you understand your eye condition, help you make sense of benefits and signpost you to other support, including KAB’s social groups and support groups. Read about our tips to keep you independent, as featured in our KAB Connect newsletter. As some sight loss is avoidable, we raise awareness of the importance of good eye health within eye clinics and to the community through our Love Your Eyes campaign (watch Ryan’s video).

Meet KAB

We visit places across Kent, Medway, Bromley and surrounding areas with Iris – our mobile sight centre.

Try some of the equipment on board, learn about the importance of good eye health or find out how we can support you.

Request Iris and the team to visit your organisation or school, or find out where we’ll be visiting this year, visit our Iris page.
