Low-vision rehabilitation with older adults

NeuroRehabilitation. 1993;3(1):26-33. doi: 10.3233/NRE-1993-3105.

Abstract

Vision loss increases dramatically with age but relatively little attention has been paid to blind and low-vision rehabilitation with older adults in the health care literature. The present article describes the nature and etiology of vision loss in older adults and provides an overview of the techniques and technologies available to help older adults overcome the disabilities associated with loss of vision.
