About the Low Vision Session
Low vision refers to significant visual impairment that cannot be corrected fully with glasses, contact lenses, medication, or surgery. It affects daily activities such as reading, writing, and recognizing faces. Causes include age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and injuries. Individuals with low vision may experience blurred vision, tunnel vision, or blind spots, impacting their independence and quality of life.
Management focuses on maximizing existing vision through aids like magnifiers, large-print materials, and adaptive technologies. Rehabilitation services such as vision therapy and orientation and mobility training help patients adapt and regain confidence. Low vision requires a multidisciplinary approach involving ophthalmologists, optometrists, occupational therapists, and counselors to address both the physical and emotional aspects of visual impairment. Early detection and intervention are crucial in minimizing the impact of low vision on everyday activities and maintaining overall well-being.
