Dietitian

A dietitian can provide nutritional advice and support to improve your health and wellbeing and understand health conditions that can co-exist with vision impairment, such as diabetes and how to make healthier food choices.

Dietitians understand how your body works. They know how food and drinks help nourish people who are healthy, as well as people with medical conditions that can be affected by or treated with nutrition.
