Published: 2025-01-30

Abstract

Low vision rehabilitation (LVR) plays a crucial role in supporting individuals with significant visual impairments that cannot be addressed through conventional interventions such as eyeglasses, contact lenses, medications, or surgery. LVR improves quality of life by making the most of residual vision, which empowers people to become more independent and productive. The evaluation of residual visual function, the recommendation of suitable low vision devices, and training in the efficient use of these devices are essential elements of LVR. This review examines current methodologies and clinical practices in low vision rehabilitation (LVR), providing eye care practitioners with nuggets to enhance patient care and optimize outcomes.
