Public benefits

The direct benefits which flow from See Belfast Ltd's purposes are: 1. Improved ocular health and vision. 2. Reduction of vision loss due to detection of disease. 3. Reduction of financial burden due to visual impairment on NHS. 4. Improved education and employment opportunities. 5. Reduction in vulnerability. 6. Reduction in stress and anxiety.

These benefits can be demonstrated by patient feedback, feedback from partner agencies, ongoing internal service evaluation, and regular independent checks by the local optometric governing body. In providing eyecare there is a slight risk of unintended side effects from eye medications. This is rare and the benefit outweighs the harm. The charity's beneficiaries are those living within the Greater Belfast area, who are homeless or otherwise financially disadvantaged.
