Low Vision is organised for quick and easy reference with sections on definitions of the condition and its causes, magnification and other strategies for improving performance, and clinical procedures used in the assessment of vision and prescribing of aids.

The theoretical background to aids and strategies employed is given in detail but there is also abundant practical advice and an indication of the way in which the optometrist's role is integrated with that of other professionals dealing with low-vision patients.

It will be of interest to dispensing opticians, orthoptists and rehabilitation workers who also come into contact with this patient group.
