Low vision was at one time believed to cause a loss of independence for those living with one of the many types of types of vision problems. Fortunately, today a low vision specialist has a number of low vision aids and rehabilitative solutions available, regardless of the root cause of vision loss.  A low vision specialist can perform a functional vision assessment, and offer a variety of solutions to assist those suffering from vision problems such as age related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy symptoms to help in maintaining  independence. Finding a solution to your vision problems makes it possible to remain engaged and active in your life.

Low Vision Facts

Low vision can be brought about by a number of causes. It is estimated that 20.5 million Americans live with vision impairment due to cataracts. Low vision is also included among glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration symptoms. It is more common, in fact, than you may believe. Approximately 1.8 million Americans above the age of 40 experience visual impairment as a result of macular degeneration alone. Detecting early macular degeneration and identifying diabetic retinopathy symptoms becomes increasingly important in the health care program of individuals as they age.

Symptoms of low vision may include blind spots, blurred or distorted vision. Detecting early macular degeneration and treating vision problems can increase the types of solutions available. Without the use of low vision aids, everyday activities we take for granted, such as reading, using the computer or driving become a challenge.
