TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Low Vision A1 - Sterns, Gwen K. A2 - Riordan-Eva, Paul A2 - Augsburger, James J. PY - 2017 T2 - Vaughan & Asbury's General Ophthalmology, 19e AB - The patient with impaired vision represents a challenge to eye-care professionals. Whether temporary or permanent, low vision is the consequence of an eye disorder, and ophthalmologists and optometrists have a responsibility to manage it. If the outcome of optimal medical and surgical intervention is diminished functional vision, the patient needs vision rehabilitation (see also Chapter 25). No person with low vision should have to search far and wide for low-vision care. Some level of care should be integrated into every ophthalmic practice, either on-site or by referral to a low-vision center.
