The experience gained at the low-vision center of St. Gallen Eye Hospital shows that there is a real need for this service, particularly among the elderly, and that this kind of counseling is very time-consuming. Until now, low-vision counseling in Switzerland has been provided mainly by opticians and other paramedical personnel. In view of these facts the question arises as to whether such services should not also--and primarily--be provided by ophthalmologists and their orthoptists. For more complicated cases it is suggested that low-vision counseling should also be offered at the ophthalmology departments of major hospitals.
圣加仑眼科医院低视力中心积累的经验表明，对这项服务确实存在需求，尤其是在老年人当中，而且这种咨询非常耗时。到目前为止，瑞士的低视力咨询主要由验光师和其他辅助医务人员提供。鉴于这些事实，就产生了这样一个问题，即此类服务是否也应由眼科医生及其视光师——而且首先应由他们——来提供。对于更复杂的病例，建议在大型医院的眼科部门也提供低视力咨询。
