Living Well with Low Vision. Low vision is usually caused by eye diseases or health conditions. Some of these include age-related macular degeneration (AMD), cataract, diabetes and glaucoma. A low-vision specialist, such as an ophthalmologist or optometrist, can help those with low vision make the most of their remaining sight and maintain independence and quality of life. Below are some low-vision activity enhancements and safety awareness tips to use in your surroundings.
Activity Enhancements:
- Organize work areas
- Develop systems, and use them consistently
- Keep clutter to a minimum
- Practice environmental consistency
- Use the right lighting for the job
- Non-skid materials and rubber bands for built-up handles and contrast
Safety Awareness:
- Focus on fall management
- Avoidance of burns
- Learn to use door and window locks
- Spare keys to your home stored wisely
- Practice personal safety with strangers in home and community
- Consider an emergency call system
