Why Low Vision Rehabilitation Should Be Given Higher Priorities: The Complexity of the Problem.

Inde, Krister

British Journal of Visual Impairment, v6 n1 p15-17 Spr 1988

The initial role of the low-vision teacher involves helping patients psychologically adjust to their situation and assessing patients' readiness for rehabilitation. Then training can begin to effectively use remaining vision, to determine fixation angles for reading text, and to function both with and without optical and other aids. (JDD)
