Low Vision Rehabilitation
Low vision is a permanent loss of vision that cannot be improved with eyeglasses, medicine or surgery, and which makes everyday tasks difficult. Rehabilitation uses magnification aids and practical adjustments to help you continue your daily activities with confidence.
Low vision changes how you do things — but it does not have to take away your independence. The goal of rehabilitation is practical and personal: to match the right tools and habits to your remaining sight so that reading, writing, watching television and recognising the people you love stay part of your everyday life.
Low Vision Rehabilitation — your questions answered
When should one consider low vision rehabilitation?
Rehabilitation should be considered when the eye has been affected by a disease causing central or peripheral vision loss, and the person finds it difficult to read, write, watch television or recognise faces.
Does low vision rehabilitation really help?
Yes. The doctor helps you choose the device that best optimises your remaining vision. Simple measures — brighter room lighting, handheld and stand magnifiers, and apps on smartphones and tablets — improve vision considerably. Lifestyle changes such as reorganising your home or workspace, and using audiobooks and assistive devices, help you stay independent for most daily tasks.
