If You Have Low Vision

Low Vision is the common term for people with a vision problem that can not be corrected with refractive lenses, medical treatment or surgical procedures. People of all ages can have low vision, but the probability of having low vision increases as you get older. It has been estimated that one in twenty people have an eye problem that results in low vision.

The causes of low vision can vary. Common causes include macular degeneration, diabetes, glaucoma, retinitis pigmentosa, optic neuritis, optic atrophy, keratoconus, albinism and eye injury, among other conditions.
