Low Vision
OT services focus on providing low vision education and individual services for persons with low vision and/or mental health diagnoses. Low vision is a visual impairment severe enough to limit ability to complete many necessary daily living activities but which allows some usable vision.
It is a chronic medical condition affecting 1 in 6 adults over 45 years of age and thus primarily affects older adults.
It is the third leading cause of disability in the elderly, preceded only by cardiac disease and arthritis. Persons with low vision often have difficulty using vision efficiently and effectively to complete needed daily activities, such as paying bills, cooking and shopping. Their safety is often at risk as they often report difficulty with tasks such as, using knives, identifying medications, dialing emergency numbers and seeing water spilled on the floor. Persons with low vision may experience depression due to their decreased independence. Occupational therapists can teach the person to use remaining vision as efficiently as possible to complete activities, modify activities so they can be completed with less vision, and train the person to use adaptive equipment to compensate for vision loss…Contact us today to initiate a referral!
