  • Title: Vision rehabilitation of persons with age related macular degeneration.
    Author: Siemsen DW, Brown WL.
    Journal: Semin Ophthalmol; 2011 May; 26(3):65-8. PubMed ID: 21609218.
    Abstract:
    As the population of the United States ages, there is an increase in the number of persons with age related macular degeneration (ARMD). Even as new prevention and treatment techniques are developed, the vision loss associated with ARMD may lead to loss of independence and quality of life. Low vision is a rehabilitative process designed to improve visual function and restore independence. This paper is a review of the current research related to low vision in the areas of magnification, contrast and illumination, reading, training, driving and outcomes assessment.
