Peer Support

If you have a retinal condition, or have a family member or close friend who has, we have a team of peer supporters who are available to talk to you.

Our team members have a range of eye conditions and are based throughout the country. They are able to speak from firsthand experience about the day-to-day reality of living with a visual impairment, offer ideas for making daily tasks easier to cope with, and provide ideas about where to obtain further information on a range of topics.

Ring 0800 233 833 to speak to our Peer Support Officer Petronella Spicer or email: peersupport@retina.org.nz
