Low Vision

Low Vision is a visual impairment characterized by a permanent reduction in visual function that cannot be fully corrected by conventional refractive, medical, or surgical treatment, yet leaves residual usable vision—typically defined as visual acuity in the better eye worse than 6/18 but equal to or better than 3/60, or a corresponding visual field constriction—that substantially limits the performance of everyday visual tasks.
