The mentally handicapped patient: a perspective
Abstract:
The patient exhibiting decreased cognitive abilities (mental retardation) requires full scope optometric care, but may often receive little or no vision care whatsoever. This paper will provide the optometrist with a review of the history of exceptionality, Public Law 94-142, the educational classification of mental retardation, and various examination techniques appropriate for this population. The optometrist should contribute his/her knowledge and skill as a member of the patient's rehabilitation team and provide those services required by this unique population.
