The purpose of a Functional Low Vision Evaluation is to
assist a client in maintaining his/her highest level of visual efficiency. Often individuals who have limited
vision can learn how to use their residual vision in a manner that enhances
many of their day-to-day activities. A functional low vision evaluation and follow
up training are designed to assess the remaining vision an individual has and
provide an opportunity for the low-vision person to work with a wide variety of
optical and/or non-optical aids as well as electronic magnification systems.
These devices are intended to best enhance their vision for specific daily
living, vocational or employment tasks.
