	WHAT IS LOW VISION? Low vision is an optometric specialty dealing with the examination and optical treatment of patients with significant vision loss. Many patients with vision loss cannot achieve their full potential with ordinary eyeglasses. In low vision telescopes, microscopic lenses, magnifiers, electro-optical systems and other sophisticated optical devices are used to enhance sight by magnifying the image on the retina of patients with partial sight. The right device can help people see better. Generally the loss of vision happens slowly. Your eyeglasses or contact lenses don't seem strong enough. You find yourself straining to see things. A stronger prescription doesn't help. Loss of vision effects an estimated 3 million Americans each year. If you notice these behaviors a comprehensive low vision examination is necessary. There are many causes of vision loss including genetic, accidents, disease, and deterioration. Each of these can damage the eyes or other parts of the visual system. What is Low Vision?
