The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association

You might not realise just how transformative accessible tech can be… The integration between Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses and the Be My Eyes app shows how technology can open up the world for people with a vision impairment. With a simple voice command, "Hey Meta, be my eyes", you can connect with family, friends or a volunteer for hands-free, real-time support. Whether you’re navigating the supermarket, finding the right product on a shelf or simply getting from A to B, this feature can help make everyday tasks safer and simpler for people with sight loss.

Guide dog owners are still being wrongly turned away from businesses and services they have every right to use. In fact, nearly 90% of guide dog owners have faced an access refusal, some of them repeatedly. That’s why, later this year, we’ll be taking to Parliament to call for change. If you’re a guide dog owner based in England, Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland, you’re invited to join us on the day.
