What Is Low Vision?

Low vision is a visual impairment that makes it difficult to perform everyday tasks such as reading, driving, recognizing faces, or watching TV. It is often caused by conditions such as:

Low vision can significantly impact your daily life, but with the right tools and support, you can regain confidence and independence.
