In 2018 Hazel, Belinda, and Karen met to discuss the establishment of a Centre of Learning to provide different levels of education relating to the eye and diseases that effect the eye. Being from different professional backgrounds (Optometry, Occupational Therapy, and Education) they decided that all education would be aimed at multidisciplinary professionals and would also include information and support for people affected by visual problems. The Low Vision Centre of Learning was established at that meeting and since then has grown from strength to strength. Our vision encompasses Education, Resources, Information and Courses – ERIC. Education is aimed both nationally and internationally, with participants from South Africa and far beyond our borders. Similarly, expertise is drawn from around the world to ensure that all receive the most up-to-date, highest quality and relevant knowledge
