  • Title: Reversed telescopes on visual efficiency scores in field-restricted patients.
    Author: Krefman RA.
    Journal: Am J Optom Physiol Opt; 1981 Feb; 58(2):159-62. PubMed ID: 7223844.
    Abstract:
    Low vision aids have not been successfully prescribed for many people with peripheral visual field loss. Visual field and visual acuity measurements for four field-restricted subjects were made with and without field-expanding reversed telescopes. The calculated visual efficiency was not significantly improved with such devices; therefore, their value remains in question.
