As the population of the United States ages, there is an increase in the number of persons with age related macular degeneration (ARMD). Even as new prevention and treatment techniques are developed, the vision loss associated with ARMD may lead to loss of independence and quality of life. Low vision is a rehabilitative process designed to improve visual function and restore independence. This paper is a review of the current research related to low vision in the areas of magnification, contrast and illumination, reading, training, driving and outcomes assessment.
随着美国人口老龄化，年龄相关性黄斑变性（ARMD）患者数量不断增加。即便研发出了新的预防和治疗技术，与ARMD相关的视力丧失仍可能导致独立性和生活质量下降。低视力是一个旨在改善视觉功能并恢复独立性的康复过程。本文综述了当前在放大、对比度与照明、阅读、训练、驾驶及结果评估等领域与低视力相关的研究。
