WHAT IS LOW VISION?
When ordinary eye glasses, contact lenses or intraocular implants cannot provide sharp sight, an individual is said to have low vision. This condition should not be confused with blindness. People with low vision still have useful vision, which can often be improved with magnification devices or low vision prescription eyeglasses.
Macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and retinitis pigmentosa, along with many other eye diseases, are causes of visual impairment or low vision.
