What the petition asks
Being partially sighted there are no prescriptions that can help much. I can’t join the Police or Army (my dream jobs), or drive which makes life stressful. Making laser eye surgery free for partially sighted patients (other eye conditions) would help the 360,000 other people diagnosed.
Not everyone can afford laser eye surgery and having an eye sight problem that can be cured only if you can afford it is stressful. If the Government were to include laser eye surgery free for partially sighted (other eye conditions) patients on the NHS would make life easier for people with eye conditions. There are free non essential surgeries on the NHS that without you can still take part in daily activities without being inhibited like eye conditions can cause.
