What is Low Vision?

Low vision is a loss of eyesight that can not be corrected by glasses, contact lenses, or other standard treatments such as medicine or surgery. This problem makes doing everyday tasks difficult and may affect your lifestyle in ways such as traveling, cooking, work and school.

Low vision does not mean complete blindness, as there is still some vision left that may be preserved and improved with the use of visual aids. Low vision includes different degrees of sight loss which the American Optometric Association defines into two categories: “Partially sighted” (the individual has visual acuity between 20/70 and 20/200 with standard prescription), and “Legally blind” (the individual has visual acuity no better than 20/200 with standard correction and/or a restricted field of vision less than 20 degrees wide lenses).

When vision cannot be improved with regular eye glasses, medicine, or surgery, then people with low vision will need help to learn how to make the most of their remaining sight and keep their independence.
