What is Low Vision?

Low Vision is a term that refers to vision that is not correctable with conventional glasses to a normal level. Another term for low vision is Visual Impairment. Coping with low vision can be overwhelming and emotionally difficult. However, with time and effort – and the support of the low vision eye specialist experts at Eye Consultants of Pennsylvania, you can adapt to low vision. In fact, many people who are visually impaired can learn to perform everyday functions and even enjoy hobbies again.

Vision Rehabilitation is usually the treatment of necessity. A low vision specialist can help you learn how to live with your vision loss. This can include things like magnifying devices for reading, better lighting in your home, setting up your home so you can move around easily, and community resources for low vision persons.
