Do I need a new Certificate of Vision Impairment (CVI) if my eyesight deteriorates further?
If your vision deteriorates further your consultant opthalmologist would have to determine if you now meet the criteria for severely sight impaired. If you do they will then certify you as severely sight impaired and send a copy of the new certificate to your GP, local social services and Moorfields. Your local social services team would then update the register they hold.
