Visual impairment doesn't end vision care—it redefines its goals. This book explores low vision assessment and rehabilitation techniques designed to maximize functional vision. It includes evaluation tools for visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and visual fields, as well as devices like magnifiers, telescopes, and electronic aids. Topics also cover environmental adaptations, orientation and mobility training, and strategies for enhancing independence in daily living. Special attention is given to working with individuals with progressive or congenital vision loss. The book is a valuable resource for practitioners committed to improving life quality through vision rehabilitation.
