Fife’s sight loss charity, Seescape, has launched a new social group for younger people who are blind or partially-sighted.
Club Optimeyes will tackle loneliness and isolation associated with sight loss, with a range of fun activities and events designed especially for people who are under 40 years old.
The monthly meet ups will include live music nights, trips to the theatre, live sport, and games nights.
The programme is shaped by the people involved, and allows them to socialise, make new friends, and enjoy activities together.
The first event took place in Glenrothes with a trip to see stand-up comedian Gary Meikle, pictured above.
Venue staff were praised for their support, and Gary took time to chat with attendees and volunteers.
There are more events and activities planned for 2025. If you or someone you know is under 40 and would like to join Club Optimeyes, please e-mail
