Low vision refers to significant visual impairment that cannot be fully corrected with glasses, contact lenses, medication, or surgery. People with low vision typically have reduced visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, or field of vision, which significantly impacts their ability to perform daily tasks such as reading, driving, or recognizing faces.
Low vision rehabilitation is a multidisciplinary approach aimed at helping individuals with low vision maximize their remaining vision and achieve independence and quality of life. It typically involves a team of professionals, including optometrists, ophthalmologists, occupational therapists, orientation and mobility specialists, and low vision specialists.
The goal of low vision rehabilitation is to assess the individual's visual capabilities and challenges and then provide appropriate interventions and assistive devices to help them adapt and function effectively in their environment. This may include:
Overall, low vision rehabilitation aims to empower individuals with low vision to live independently, participate in activities they enjoy, and maintain a high quality of life despite their visual impairment.
