What Is Low Vision?
Low vision is a problem where your vision cannot be treated with glasses, contact lenses, or other conventional methods. If you have low vision, you may struggle to read, drive, recognize faces, tell colors apart, or see your television clearly. Low vision can affect you in many ways, depending on its cause.
Several types of low vision exist, affecting your central, peripheral, night, and other aspects of your vision. You develop these problems due to another eye disease or condition.
Some common causes of low vision include:
Types of Low Vision
Low vision does not refer to one type of vision problem. The type of low vision you have depends on the disease or condition causing your visual issues.
The most common types of low vision include:
- Blurred vision: Objects appear out of focus from near & far distances
- Central vision loss: You have a blind spot within the center of your vision
- Hazy vision: Everything you see seems to have a film or glare covering it
- Night blindness: You struggle to see well in poorly lit or dark areas
- Peripheral vision loss: You cannot see images on the edges, or sides of your vision
Low Vision Care
Low vision requires unique care based on the type you are experiencing. Each form of low vision requires a unique approach catered to your needs. We can recommend a rehabilitation plan after completing a comprehensive eye exam.
Low vision care focuses on rehabilitation to maximize your remaining vision to help improve your quality of life. Our team may use several treatment devices during your care.
