Riassunto

When someone has a problem with their sight that results in low vision, an optometrist is often the first person they turn to. At this stage receiving practical and emotional support in adapting can make a very positive difference. By making some simple changes to the way they assess and manage patients with sight loss, optometrists in general practice can enable many to find a smoother journey towards accepting their low vision, and living with it. This book covers topics including improving the patient experience, working with other services and agencies, low vision devices and mobility aids, and supporting visually impaired children and people with a learning disability. It is designed to equip optometrists with the skills and knowledge to understand a patient s situation, ensuring they connect with the services and support they need.
