Eye clinic liaison officers (ECLOs)

For practical information and rehabilitation advice on living with sight loss.

Eye clinic liaison officers (ECLOs) are available throughout Moorfields networked sites to assist those living with sight loss. This includes patients, their relatives and carers.

 

We provide advice and support on:

  • Living with sight loss and remaining independent.
  • Coping with and managing particular eye conditions.
  • Services outside the hospital including social services, local support groups and national organisations for people with sight loss.
  • Registering with the local council and getting a Certificate of Vision Impairment (CVI).

 

Certificate of Vision Impairment (CVI)

The ECLOs at City Road will explain the process of registration and complete the clerical section of the CVI with the patient, if this is agreed by the consultant ophthalmologist, who will complete the clinical section.

 

What is the sensory impairment department?

The sensory impairment department helps anyone who has a degree of sight loss. They are able to provide services like social work support, general advice, vision rehabilitation, practical support and mobility training.

Our drop in service

Our drop in service is open from 9am - 5pm, Monday-Friday. The ECLO office is located on the ground floor of the hospital (next to the cashiers’ office).

 

Health information hub

The Health Information Hub, run by Friends of Moorfields, is a space where patients can find out more about eye health, their own eye conditions, and what help is available to them. 

Two ECLOs and a team of trained volunteers are on hand to provide information about eye conditions, facilitate access to appropriate services beyond Moorfields, or just offer a friendly chat. Patients and their carers and families can drop by any time – no need for an appointment.

Find the Health Information Hub near the main entrance at Moorfields City Road, or call 020 7253 3411 ext 2670 to talk to the team.

You can also reach the team by email at moorfields.friends@nhs.net
