Abstract:
Case reports for three patients with low vision due to different ocular diseases are presented. In each case, a different rehabilitation professional was the main provider of the low vision care needed to meet the patient's goals. However, in all cases the patients benefited from the services of a range of professionals, agencies or groups for visually impaired people. The importance of defining patients' specific goals, referral to multi-disciplinary low vision services and regular reviews of vision and visual tasks is highlighted.
