TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Chapter 24. Low Vision A1 - Sterns, Gwen K. A1 - Faye, Eleanor E. A2 - Riordan-Eva, Paul A2 - Cunningham, Emmett T. Y1 - 2011 N1 - T2 - Vaughan & Asbury's General Ophthalmology, 18e AB - In every subspecialty of ophthalmology, the patient with impaired vision represents a challenge in management. Whether reduced vision is temporary or permanent, it is the consequence of an eye disorder and, as such, is the responsibility of the ophthalmologist and optometrist. If the outcome of optimal medical and surgical intervention is diminished functional vision, the patient needs vision rehabilitation (also see 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, whether it is on-site or referral to a low-vision center.
