Low vision rehabilitation Vision loss of any degree can have a profound effect on a patient’s daily activities, especially reading and driving. Severe vision loss and central blindness resulting from AMD can be devastating. In addition, central scotomas may be complicated by visual release hallucinations (Charles Bonnet syndrome), which can overlay blank areas with small geometric figures or faces or any other image. Although primary efforts are focused on rescue therapies, consideration should be given to low vision rehabilitation strategies. Low vision rehabilitation and the use of optical and nonoptical devices can maintain the patient’s functional status and sustain quality of life (see BCSC Section 3, Clinical Optics). Even patients who have undergone successful anti-VEGF therapy may retain visual acuity that has been reduced to the 20/50–20/70 range and can benefit from low vision strategies such as magnification (eg, high-plus lenses, video magnifiers), optimal lighting, and contrast enhancement techniques. Training on the use of eccentric fixation outside the area of scotoma that is produced by the disciform scar or area of atrophy may also be helpful. To foster such rehabilitation, clinicians should consider referring patients for low vision evaluation at local low vision centers or to state services for the blind, available in most US states.
