PURPOSE of the Clinical Low Vision Evaluation:

The primary purpose of a clinical low vision evaluation is to determine whether an individual with low vision can benefit from optical and non-optical devices, as well as adaptive techniques, to enhance visual functioning. This type of evaluation should not be used to as a means to update eye reports or replace routine eye examinations. The clinical low vision evaluation differs from the examination of the primary eye care specialist by:
 

  • Beginning with a comprehensive, goal-oriented case history
     
  • Using special charts and materials for assessment of near and distance visual acuity not routinely used in general eye examinations.
     
  • Going beyond the prescription of standard spectacles to prescribe optical, nonoptical, and/or nonvisual devices to help individuals meet specific visual needs
     
  • Including the gathering of information about the individual’s functional use of vision
     

If you have any questions or need further information, please contact Connie Hill or call 502-897-1583 or fax 502-897-8737.
