Low Vision Aid Clinic
Low Vision is a terminology for Visual impaired people whose visual acuity
cannot be improved either quantitatively or qualitatively by any surgical or
optical means. The vision rehabilitation centre trains these low vision patients
to overcome their visual impairment by using magnifying glasses to carry out
their daily task independently.
A person with low vision is one who has impairment of Visual functions even
after treatment or standard refractory correction and who has a Best Corrected
Visual Acuity of less than 6/18 (20/60) to light perception and visual field
loss of less than 10 degrees from the point of fixation, but who uses or is
potentially able to use vision for the planning and execution of task. Low
Vision Clinic was started in October 2005 in our hospital
