What is Low Vision?

Low vision is an umbrella term used to describe a wide spectrum of vision loss that isn’t treatable with surgery, medication, glasses or contact lenses.

This type of vision loss can be caused by eye diseases like age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, eye cancers, albinism and retinitis pigmentosa. Low vision can also be congenital or acquired after a brain injury or eye injury.
