What is Low Vision?
- Definition: Vision loss that cannot be fully corrected by standard glasses, contact lenses, medicine, or surgery.
- Symptoms: Frequently bumping into things, holding objects very close, squinting, or having difficulty recognizing faces.
- Causes: Macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, stroke, and hereditary conditions.Â
- How does a low vision exam differ? It focuses on function (how you see) rather than just clarity (20/20 acuity), lasting 1–2 hours to identify goals.
- Will I get glasses to see 20/20? Usually, the goal is to make functional tasks (reading, cooking, spotting faces) easier, not to restore normal vision.
