Essentials of Low Vision Practice

Logically organized, the chapters flow in a uniform sequence from an introduction to the low vision patient, to examination, to low vision devices, to systems available to benefit the patient. This is followed by more sophisticated testing information and networking, and is tied in with case histories.

From beginner to experienced practitioner, this book is geared toward optometrists and ophthalmologists involved in low vision care. Optics, pathology, visual status and psychosocial issues are considered in discussions of low vision systems design and prescribing strategies.

* Discusses all aspects of low vision care from screenings to evaluations
* Self assessment questions included at the end of each chapter
* Final case study chapter applies practical concepts to low vision practice
