Low Vision – What We Don’t See

Occupational Therapists are skilled in rehabilitating visual systems to achieve maximum function, improving one’s quality of life and independence. For individuals with an injury impacting function of the eye, this is often accomplished through visual exercises to improve the mobility, strength, and overall function of eye muscles. For individuals living with chronic eye conditions such as cataracts, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma, OTs will assess their visual function, the set-up of their environment, and performance in their everyday tasks.
