Low vision is a vision impairment that causes a person to lose part of their vision. It’s different from blindness because there is still typically usable vision. Low vision prevents a patient from seeing adequately to perform daily activities.
Reasons for Low Vision
There are many different eye diseases or conditions that can lead to low vision, including:
- Macular degeneration
- Glaucoma
- Diabetic retinopathy
- Retinal detachment
- Cataracts

- Stroke
