Comprehensive Clinical Low Vision Care

Course Description

Comprehensive Clinical Low Vision Care is a three-day course that provides information on evaluating and prescribing for adult patients with low vision resulting from a full range of conditions, including age-related macular degeneration, diabetes-related eye diseases, glaucoma and cataracts. Upon completion of this educational activity, the learner should have a better understanding of how to review, diagnose and provide vision rehabilitation options for adults with low vision, and will be able to apply this knowledge in his/her medical practice.

Needs Assessment

This course provides information that allows a physician to meet the needs of a growing population of older adults who are presenting with low vision-related functional difficulties that cannot be addressed by medical treatment (surgery or medication). Understanding the options available to address these functional needs � whether in the physician�s office or by appropriate referral � will increase the physician�s understanding of vision rehabilitation methods and, ultimately, his/her ability to provide better patient care.

Course Objectives

Upon completion of this educational activity, the learner should have a better understanding of diagnostic, treatment and rehabilitation options available to increase functional visual ability of patients with low vision-related conditions, and will be able to apply this knowledge in his/her medical practice.
