Low vision exists when any condition affecting the eye and visual system challenges a patient, reduces their vision, and limits their ability to perform necessary daily tasks and also enjoy those things that bring quality and pleasure to their lives. 


When ordinary eyeglasses, contact lenses, surgery or intraocular implants cannot provide sharp vision, an individual is said to have low vision. Macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and retinitis pigmentosa, along with many other eye diseases, are causes of visual impairment or low vision.  People with decreased vision still have useful vision and should seek out the care of an eye doctor who specializes in vision rehabilitation. 


Low vision may present itself as: a loss of central vision, loss of peripheral or side vision, blurred vision, extreme sensitivity to light, and night blindness. Patients frequently cannot read, identify the faces of family and friends, play cards, watch TV, use a computer, drive a car, see the food on their plates or their faces in a mirror.
