Blickpunkt Auge - Advice and help with vision loss (BPA)

Description / Topics

A major concern of the German Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired (DBSV) is to offer advice and assistance to people affected or threatened by visual impairment or blindness, as well as to their relatives and caregivers, on all issues related to an eye disease. Know-how carriers and advisors are thereby predominantly experts concerned themselves. They work together with experts in ophthalmology, optics, (social) education, rehabilitation, psychology and aging sciences. Partners are likewise other self-help organizations, senior citizen representations, welfare and social associations as well as authorities and institutions. In the context of the project "Blickpunkt Auge" (BPA) consultation and support offers are developed and realized, which are particularly aligned to the needs of humans with acquired visual impairments (eye patients). Common diagnoses are age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma (green star), diabetic retinal diseases and cataract (cataract). To this end, the DBSV conducted pilot projects from April 2011 to February 2013 in cooperation with the state organizations of Hesse, North Rhine-Westphalia, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Schleswig-Holstein. The results form the basis for the nationwide introduction and stabilization of corresponding offers. The core of the offering is counseling. Various models have been developed here: Consultation inside and outside the association, at eye clinics or mobile with a modern equipped vehicle. In North Rhine-Westphalia, the specialist group deals specifically with questions relating to eye diseases in addition to the existing counseling services. Since March 2013, Bremen, Hamburg, Lower Saxony and Württemberg have been preparing patient services under the Blickpunkt Auge brand. The project is supported by an interdisciplinary group of experts. For example, ophthalmologists, low-vision specialists, psychologists, gerontologists and self-help representatives are involved.
