Abstract
Low Vision Aid (LVA) devices which are used to enable patients to use their remaining sight in the most efficient way in low vision aid and rehabilitation and to reintroduce them to society as independent individuals, provide vision improvement in patients whose sight cannot be improved through standard procedures.
Highlights
Low Vision Aid (LVA) devices which are used to enable patients to use their remaining sight in the most efficient way in low vision aid and rehabilitation and to reintroduce them to society as independent individuals, provide vision improvement in patients whose sight cannot be improved through standard procedures [1,2,3].Low vision aid devices and rehabilitation programs vary according to diagnosis, age, visual acuity, educational status and implemented magnifying power and all these factors affect the success of patients in using the devices provide [2,4,5,6,7,8,9]
The visual acuity of the cases referred to our center for LVA was evaluated as quite low, sufficient time could not be allocated to cases due to intense polyclinic conditions and patients were referred late
An evaluation was made of the VA at the time of presentation of patients who were referred to our center due to low vision and the effect of initial VA on visual prognosis
Summary
Low vision aid devices and rehabilitation programs vary according to diagnosis, age, visual acuity, educational status and implemented magnifying power and all these factors affect the success of patients in using the devices provide [2,4,5,6,7,8,9]. Initial visual acuity (VA) is the primary factor affecting LVA success [2,3]. An evaluation was made of the VA at the time of presentation of patients who were referred to our center due to low vision and the effect of initial VA on visual prognosis
