Preferred term

low vision  

Definition

  • Low vision refers to deficits in visual function caused by eye disorders. Why should an encyclopedia of perception contain an entry on low vision? Ophthalmologists and optometrists focus on the diagnosis and treatment of eye disease, and on vision care. [Source: Encyclopedia of Perception; Low Vision]
