Last of all, today's budget had nothing at all to say about adult social care services, at a time when thousands of people with sight loss across England are finding their lives stuck on pause while they wait for vital vision rehabilitation support. 6/7

Chris McCausland’s BBC documentary, Seeing the Future, shows how the future of tech can give those of us who are blind and partially sighted more independence to get around.
