Low vision: the patient's perspective
نویسنده
چکیده
For this issue on low vision, the Community Eye Health Journal contacted low vision practitioners in India, Tanzania, Nepal, and Peru to help gather the views of eighteen people attending their low vision clinics. The people varied in age from 14 to 81, and suffered from a range of vision problems including nystagmus, retinitis pigmentosa, diabetic retinopathy, and bilateral aphakia. The interviewees (or their parents) described how their low vision had affected them before treatment, how their life changed after they received low vision care, and what they felt they still needed. We hope that these experiences of people with low vision will highlight what is important in a low vision service.
