MIRIAM’S VISION Miriam discovered in her teens that she was slightly short-sighted

She said that clarity of vision was a revelation to her when she first wore glasses.

Being an artist and loving nature, Miriam very much appreciated her own eye care services, and their impact on her quality of life

THE MIRIAM HYMAN MEMORIAL TRUST (MHMT) The MHMT became a UK registered charity (No.1124032) in May 2008

Then it was named the Miriam Hyman Children’s Eye Care Centre and her family felt they had created a living memorial.
