Introduction to Low Vision:

 

Low vision is a loss of visibility that cannot be corrected by surgery, lens implants, or corrective lenses for glasses. This type of vision loss does not result in complete blindness because there is still some vision, which can occasionally be improved with the use of visual aids. Low vision covers a range of visual impairments, from glare problems, night vision problems, and blind spots to an almost complete loss of vision. According to the American Optometry Organization, there are two types of blurry vision:

 

• A person is considered “partially sighted” if their vision, as measured with traditional prescription lenses, is between 20/70 and 20/200.
• A person is considered “legally blind” if their visual acuity is no better than 20/200 with conventional correction and/or if their field of vision is restricted to fewer than 20 degrees.

 

The ratio assessment of vision is used to define visual acuity, or the precision of seeing, at an angle of 20 feet behind an object. For example, 20/70 eyesight means that if you want to see everything anyone with average vision is able to perceive at 70 feet, you have to be 20 feet away. Low vision can be identified through a visual evaluation by a retinal care professional.

 

 

Causes and Symptoms:

 

Low vision can result from a wide range of eye diseases; however, the following are the most typical ones:

 

• Macular degeneration (AMD) due to aging
• Cataracts
• Diabetes patients who have diabetic retinopathy, a disorder that can result in vision loss,
• Glaucoma

 

Because many of the conditions that might cause low vision are more common in older people, blurry vision is more prevalent among them. Age does not constitute the only factor in blurry vision. Low vision may also result from some hereditary illnesses, eye damage, or brain damage.
