Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To discuss the effect of using distance and near optical low vision devices for children in low vision clinic. METHOD: 139 subjects from age 6 to 14 years were provided with 2.5 X telescopes and + 8.00D to + 40.00D glasses for improving far and near sight respectively. RESULT: 22.3% subjects' distance visual acuity was >or= 0.5 and 53.2% subjects' near visual acuity was >or= 0.5 after using distance and near low vision aids. CONCLUSIONS: Low vision aid is essential and effective in low vision clinic. It not only improves the visual acuity of visual disabled children, but also helps the development of special education through visual rehabilitation.
