    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Low Vision Rehabilitation

    Background:

    • Serpiginous choroiditis is a rare inflammatory condition causing bilateral vision loss.
    • Visual sequelae can be devastating despite medical or surgical interventions.

    Observation:

    • A 35-year-old male with vision loss from serpiginous choroiditis received vision rehabilitation.
    • Conventional low vision devices were insufficient due to scotoma characteristics and patient needs.

    Findings:

    • Prescribing a closed-circuit television (CCTV) system was recommended.
    • CCTV provided a viable solution for managing specific visual deficits.

    Implications:

    • Vision rehabilitation, particularly with specialized devices like CCTV, can favorably manage severe visual impairment.
  • Early and tailored intervention is crucial for improving quality of life in patients with serpiginous choroiditis.
