Low Vision Rehabilitation

Supporting Independence, Function, and Quality of Life with Vision Loss
Low vision is when a person experiences permanent vision loss that cannot be fully corrected with glasses, contact lenses, medication, or surgery. While the eyes may no longer provide clear vision, the remaining sight can still be trained and used more effectively — and that’s where Low Vision Rehabilitation comes in.

What Is Low Vision Rehabilitation?

Low Vision Rehabilitation is a personalized program that helps individuals with visual impairment learn how to maximize their remaining vision and adapt to everyday challenges. The goal is not to restore lost vision, but to improve the functional use of available sight for tasks like reading, mobility, self-care, and communication.

Who Is It For

Low Vision Rehabilitation benefits individuals with permanent vision loss from conditions such as:

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) – central vision loss

Glaucoma– loss of peripheral (side) vision

Diabetic retinopathy– fluctuating and blurry vision

Retinitis pigmentosa– progressive night and peripheral vision loss

Stroke or brain injury– partial field loss or visual neglect

Congenital or inherited eye diseases

What Are The Goals

Improve your ability to read, write, and manage personal care

Support independent living and safe mobility

Boost confidence in social and work situations

Reduce frustration and reliance on others

Maintain participation in hobbies, school, and work

Why It Matters

Many people with low vision feel like they’ve “reached the end” of vision care — but rehabilitation offers a new beginning. With the right support and tools, individuals can regain a sense of control, comfort, and purpose in everyday life.

What Does It Involve

Low Vision Rehabilitation is comprehensive and multidisciplinary. It may include:

Functional Vision Assessment

A thorough evaluation of how you see in real-world conditions — such as reading, recognizing objects, or moving around safely.
