Hopeful Conversations - Loss of Sight (Retinitis Pigmentosa) with Clare Assante

Upon having a routine eye test Clare was told there was something wrong that needed to be checked at the hospital. After an appointment with an eye specialist she was told she had retinitis pigmentosa, a rare genetic eye condition that leads to loss of vision.

As a hairdresser this was particularly challenging news but Clare has remained calm and pragmatic about the whole diagnosis.

Clare talks with great clarity about the condition and her story is inspiring to anyone experiencing health challenges.
