Insights
This study highlights visual aids for visually impaired children. Success requires collaboration between medical professionals, trainers, the child, and parents.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Pediatric Vision Care
- Assistive Technology
Background:
- Visually impaired children require specialized support.
- Low-vision services play a crucial role in aiding children with visual impairments.
Abstract:
We describe several visual aids that were given to two visually impaired children from our low-vision service of St. Gallen Eye Hospital. Visual aids alone do not guarantee success as collaboration between the ophthalmologist, the low-vision trainer, the child and his parents is fundamental.
