Patients who are, or may become, limited by their vision loss can benefit from vision rehabilitation.
Individuals with acquired or genetic diagnoses that render them mildly, moderately, or severely visually impaired. Even those who are totally blind can benefit from vision rehabilitation.

"I refer patients who are struggling with their vision independent of the actual degree of impairment. Even for individuals with mild visual impairment, the Vision Rehab team often has suggestions that are easy to implement but have a significant impact. For patients with progressive diseases, these assessments can make them aware of what assistive strategies and technologies might benefit them in the future."
