Low-vision Symptoms

Before you can establish goals for your low-vision rehabilitation, you must be officially diagnosed with the condition.

Symptoms of low vision typically include:

Blind spots : spotty sight or seeing with "holes"

Hazy or blurred vision : the inability to see sharp, defined, or small images

Tunnel vision : a circular effect in central vision from reduced peripheral vision

Difficulty focusing : the eyes have trouble remaining honed in on a small object

Reduced peripheral vision : a lesser ability to rely on side vision

Reduced night vision : the eyes have more difficulty adjusting to the dark

Difficulty performing tasks : driving, reading, viewing TV/computer screens
