The traffic has to yield to pedestrians when entering and exiting a roundabout, period.

Not in UK.

However there are often pedestrian crossings across the roads or the volume is low enough pedestrians can easily cross. A local roundabout got busy enough we had crossing added less than 10 years ago and the biggest road there was a minor B road.

I am a pedestrian due to sight issues and have found very few places where it is difficult to cross when needed.

This is true if you can alter the properties of the physically existent universe, else it is not true, and, indeed, drivers do not even slow down largely because they feel frustrated when traveling along a road with a 45 MPH speed limit at an average speed of 20 MPH.
