Visual Impairment Awareness Card - Please Ask Before Helping

This visual impairment awareness card shares a clear preference: "Please ask before helping". The front also asks people to say who they are when approaching. Large dark wording, an original eye symbol and a navy header create a simple design for other people to read when you choose to display it.

Visual impairment awareness card wording

The reverse says "Ask, then follow my lead". It asks readers to introduce themselves, ask before offering assistance and describe what they mean clearly. These are specific stock preferences rather than a statement about everyone's needs. Check that both sides express what you want before selecting the card.

What is included?

You receive one double-sided plastic card, approximately 86 x 54mm, in the design shown. It does not include a name, photograph, medical details, emergency number or custom text. A holder, lanyard, clip and other accessories are not included.

Choosing and using the card

The card can be carried in a wallet or placed in a suitable holder. The holder decides when to show it, and the message can accompany speech, writing or another way of communicating. It is an awareness card for sharing the printed requests, rather than a certificate or official proof of disability.
