Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the different types of LOW VISION and effectiveness of LOW VISION aids on patients referred to Noor eye clinic from September 1999 to February 2001.Patients and Methods: This study was performed in two phases. Phase one was a descriptive study, while phase two was a before-after type clinical trial. Ability to read normal print, large print and to recognize faces was evaluated before and after using LOW VISION aids. Results were analyzed by McNemars test. Correlation with etiology of LOW VISION was also assessed.Results: Durring the study, 131 patients (67.93% male) in age of 54.5 ±29.6 years were evaluated. After using LOW VISION aids, distance visual acuity better than 20/200 achieve in 67.8%; near visual acuity better than 20/200 occurred in 96.4%; and the ability to read normal print and large print changed from 8.6% to 94.8% and from 55.2% to 97.4%, respectively. Face recognition improved from 16.8% to 63.3% (p< 0.0001). Cases affected with Stargardts disease had the greatest improvement in reading ability. The rate of purchase and usage of different LOW VISION devices was different, and the highest rate was 89.74% for recommended near telescopes.Conclusions: This study confirmed the effectiveness of LOW VISION aids in increasing distance and NEAR VISION in LOW VISION patients, however a high percentage of our patients refrained from using LOW VISION aids. Analysis of socioeconomic and cultural factors is recommended.
