The Low Vision Handbook for Eyecare Professionals

The purpose of The Low Vision Handbook is to make each step in the low vision process clear for the assistant who is going to provide the most complete level of services for the client. Two main subjects are focused on in The Low Vision Handbook. First, an introduction to low vision as a medical and optical problem is presented. The second section covers rehabilitation concerns of low vision and blindness, including psychological responses to vision loss and how to understand patients in various stages of acceptance. The Low Vision Handbook is one of several books in our Basic Bookshelf for Eyecare Professionals series. The goal of the Basic Bookshelf is to provide basic and advanced material with a clinical approach to clinicians and students.
