The following are some of the major pathological conditions that can result in low vision:

BEYOND GLAUCOMA
There are so many more terrible eye issues than Glaucoma. Because of the awareness surrounding Glaucoma, people tend to forget that there are many other eye conditions that can render one totally blind.
That’s why a thorough and comprehensive eye examination is very important as it helps uncover any visual threat that’s been faced by an individual.
Some other serious eye conditions includes:
- Retinitis pigmentosa
- Keratoconus
- Age-related macular degeneration
- Retinal detachment
- Retinal artery and Retinal vein occlusion.
WHEN SURGERY FAILS…
In time past and even in recent times, we have had people who came down with eye conditions like glaucoma, cataract, retinitis pigmentosa, macular degeneration and even after treatment, their vision never improved again.
Even after series of surgeries, patients could no longer get their lives back.
It is usually very difficult to cope with the new reality of not been able to do those things that puts smiles on your face and bring joy to your soul.
Low vision simply refers to visual acuity of less than 6/18 in the better and visual field of less 5 degrees of arc with the presence of underlying pathologies.
It is a very sad reality for most of these patients to come to terms with the fact that they have been diagnosed with low vision and they might have to make some permanent and noticeable changes to their lives inorder to go through life without much hinderance.
Low vision therapy employs the use of both optical and non optical low vision aids to maximize the little vision the patient has left.
Low vision aids includes telescopes, magnifiers, CCTV et.c
