An 8 year old boy, diagnosed with Cone Dystrophy presented to us today with disabling glare and a moderate visual impairment (BCVA 20/200), predominantly for distance viewing. His visual disability prevents him from reading the blackboard in school.

It was such a joy to see how happy his father was, when his son could read the 20/30 line, comfortably with a handheld monocular telescope. We also suggested other non-optical aids to help him with glare, including trial with a red tint (a concept used in submarines) to prevent excessive rod pigment bleaching in photopic conditions.

An in-depth knowledge of the retinal pathology can be very helpful in customising low vision aids for the individual patient.

We wish him all the best for his future!

A 16-year-old with pathological myopia and a best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) plateauing at 6/24 due to degenerative retinal changes is encountering difficulties in managing higher studies. They've been provided with a low vision aid (LVA) trial and a 3x bioptic telescope for distance viewing, resulting in an improved vision of 6/6p.

Low Vision Aids can have a significant impact on patients with moderate to severe visual impairment.

Such kind words of appreciation from a senior colleague, such love from our patients is what motivates us to give our 200 percent in helping Low Vision patients getting back to their normal life.

Do you remember the earlier post of the child with improved handwriting after using Low Vision Aids?

This is why dispensing Low Vision Aids can be extremely rewarding.

Excited to see my patient achieving independence for writing his own exams, and his efforts being acknowledged!
