Struggling with your sight? Visit VIstore, Leicester’s bespoke shop for people with a sight loss.

VIstore stocks a large range of equipment designed for the needs of people living with a sight loss. The range of equipment is vast, with both high-end technology, such as a CCTV electronic magnification reading system and low-end technology, such as large print calendars.

Thanks to successful trust fundraising we have now refurbished Vista’s Resource Centre where VIstore is based. Funding was received from the Clothworkers Foundation, Percy Bilton Charity and Edith Murphy Foundation as well as others. They helped Vista to achieve a brighter, more spacious and welcoming environment with excellent colour contrast and wheelchair accessibility.

Product lines include:

• Clocks and watches
• Lighting
• Phones and mobiles
• Personal care
• Around the home
• Anti-glare
• Mobility
• Assistive technology

VIstore Coordinator, Ian Smales, said: “The refurbishment of, what was previously known as the Vista Shop, has enabled us to display product lines in a much clearer and more accessible format. Stock is easier for the customers to identify. Now, the customer can take items from the shelves, place it in their basket and then pay at the counter, with staff on hand for those who have questions.”
