Welcome to Face Blind UK

Face Blind UK is run by and for people whose lives are impacted by prosopagnosia (also known as face blindness).
This is a neurological condition that affects an individual's ability to reliably recognise familiar faces. It can be present from birth or the result of a brain injury.

“Oliver Sacks: Face Blindness” by Oliver Sacks. © 2010

"The majority of people who have lived all their life with the condition may well be unaware that they have a neurological deficit, and that for other people face recognition is automatic."

Oliver Sacks introduces prosopagnosia and describes his own journey of discovery.
