Abstract

The author asserts that vision practitioners must be aware of other services that may help people with low vision and refer them accordingly. People with low vision may need clinical care, refraction and rehabilitation support. She notes the importance of communicating with the person, the family and with colleagues in other services about the required low vision care. She also emphasizes the need to follow up on whether the patient has received the needed clinical and refractive error care.
