Low Vision
Low vision is a significant reduction in visual function that remains even after the best ordinary optical correction. It can make everyday activities such as reading, recognising details, moving around or distinguishing contrast more demanding.
Key characteristics
Low vision is not a refractive error such as myopia or astigmatism. It is a condition in which vision remains limited despite traditional glasses or contact lenses. It can affect reading, recognising details and perceiving contrast.
Optical-professional context
In optics, low vision is approached through tools and solutions that make the most of residual vision, improving contrast, magnification and lighting. Solutions are selected according to the person’s visual needs and everyday activities.
Dedicated optical solutions
- Medical filters - Selective filters designed to improve contrast and comfort.
- Filters for macular conditions - Specific filters that can support detail perception.
- Magnifying systems - Lenses and optical aids for close-up activities.
- Personalised solutions - Optical pathways tailored to individual needs.
Related visual functions
Some aspects of vision can influence the perception of low vision and visual comfort in everyday activities.
- Light transmission (VLT) - The percentage of light passing through a lens.
- Polarised filter - Glare reduction for a more stable visual experience.
- UV400 - Protection against ultraviolet light.
