Why is it important to make changes and learn to use vision aids and other adaptive technologies?
Although using vision aids and learning to use adaptive technologies may not improve your vision, they can help you to make the best use of your remaining vision and can make living with reduced vision much easier and safer. Your eye care doctor will be able to suggest specific changes you can make. These may include: • Getting new prescriptions for corrective lenses, such as eyeglasses. Although lenses do not treat or restore vision loss from AMD, corrective lenses can sometimes help you make better use of your remaining vision. • Learning how to compensate for blind spots and other defects in your visual field. If you have lost central vision from AMD, your doctor or a low-vision specialist may be able to help you learn to better use other areas of your vision and to focus your attention on objects that are not at the center of your vision. These techniques may take some time to learn and do not work for everyone. Learning to use low-vision aids and adaptive technologies may help you
