[Comprehensive care for visually impaired and blind people in addition to optical care]
Abstract:
The numbers of low vision patients will steadily increase because of increasing longevity. If patients are no longer able to receive medical treatment to improve their vision, they should be fitted with visual aids, e.g. magnifiers, as soon as possible. In addition, it should always be clarified whether comprehensive care is also necessary for various areas of life. After optical rehabilitation had already been discussed in a previous article in 2018 2, this article describes the approach and content of comprehensive care for patients for different areas of competence in different life situations.
