The number of blind people getting help from councils has dropped by over 40% in England in six years, data shows.
The analysis by the Royal National Institute of Blind People - based on official figures - found just under 32,000 got support last year - down from nearly 56,000 in 2005-6.
It warned that if current trends continued, no-one would be getting support from councils within a decade.
