Understanding Low Vision
Low vision is not complete blindness. It refers to reduced vision that cannot be fully corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or standard treatment.
It may be caused by conditions such as:
- Macular degeneration
- Diabetic retinopathy
- Glaucoma
- Retinal disorders
- Post-surgical or long-standing eye conditions

You may benefit from a low vision evaluation if:
- You struggle with reading or recognising faces
- Regular glasses are no longer helpful
- You have difficulty with daily tasks like writing or using a phone
- You experience reduced central or peripheral vision
- Vision loss is affecting your independence
