Low vision is a loss of eyesight due to eye diseases that makes everyday tasks difficult. A person with low vision may find it difficult or impossible to accomplish activities such as reading, writing, shopping, watching television, driving a car or recognizing faces.
When vision cannot be improved with regular eyeglasses, medicine or surgery, people with low vision need help to learn how to make the most of their remaining sight and keep their independence.
There are a lot of low vision aids available like magnifying glasses, telescopes, contrasting lenses, electronic devices, etc., that can be used to support and maximize your vision.
During a low vision consultation, we identify the affected area, and demonstrate low vision aids that will maximise your vision.
