What is Low Vision?
Low vision is a term used to describe a visual impairment that standard glasses, contact lenses, or surgery cannot fully correct. This condition can interfere with daily activities such as reading, writing, driving, and recognizing faces. Individuals may find it difficult to perform tasks that require clear vision, even with the best possible correction.
