Most low vision patients report high satisfaction with prescribed low vision aids (LVA), frequently using them for daily tasks. Regular follow-ups are recommended to manage potential functional decline and ensure continued benefit from LVAs.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Low Vision Rehabilitation

Context:

  • Low vision aids (LVA) are crucial for maintaining quality of life in patients with visual impairment.
  • Assessing patient satisfaction and aid usage is essential for effective low vision care.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate patient satisfaction with prescribed low vision aids (LVA).
  • To correlate LVA type with specific eye diseases and visual function one year post-prescription.
  • To identify factors influencing LVA use and challenges faced by patients.

Summary:

  • A survey of 576 patients who received LVAs revealed high satisfaction (>90%) with management and aids.
  • 57% of patients used optical LVAs daily, primarily for reading and writing.
  • Despite high satisfaction, 20 patients experienced functional decline impacting LVA use; age-related macular degeneration patients often received magnifiers.

Impact:

  • Prescribed LVAs significantly improve the quality of life for low vision patients.
  • Regular follow-up examinations are necessary to address potential functional deterioration.
  • Early prescription of devices like CCTV (closed-circuit television) can preserve reading ability and should be considered by low vision specialists.
