What is Low Vision Care?

Low Vision Care is the evaluation and management of those that are visually impaired by eye care and vision rehab professionals. The goal of the care is to help those with low vision overcome the handicapping effects of their visual impairment. Based on individual lifestyle needs, solutions will be sought to help each patient achieve their visual goals. This may include the recommendation of products known as Low Vision Aids.

Please Note:

Low Vision Care will not restore lost sight. Instead, this type of care assists visually impaired patients in maximizing their remaining functional vision.
