What is vision rehabilitation?
Vision rehabilitation is a comprehensive set of services, including optometric, counseling and rehabilitation programs, that help people with low vision regain a sense of independence. Low vision optometrists help those with vision loss to see better, even when surgery, medications, and conventional glasses no longer improve sight, by designing and prescribing optical aids to help the person read, write, watch television and manage daily living activities. The vision loss is permanent but the ability to perform daily living tasks with impaired vision is learned or relearned through our rehabilitation program.
