👁️ Supporting vision. Building independence.

Low vision can make reading, recognising faces, moving around and everyday tasks more challenging. The right support can help people make better use of the vision they have and approach daily life with greater confidence.

At CTSB’s Low Vision Clinic, we focus on the person behind the vision challenges—supporting independence and quality of life. 💚

👁️ EYE CARE IS MORE THAN GLASSES

Caring for your eyes means paying attention to changes in your vision and seeking professional advice when needed. Give your eye health the attention it deserves. 💚

When was the last time you had your eyes checked?

🧺 FROM SKILL TO PRODUCT

It starts with raw materials, skilled hands, and a whole lot of patience.

Step by step, CTSB’s talented artisans use precision, creativity and skill developed over years to transform simple materials into beautifully handwoven products made to be used, enjoyed and appreciated. 👐🏽✨

Every piece represents more than craftsmanship, it represents skills, opportunity and empowerment woven together.

From our hands to your home. 💛
