Abstract
This article provides information concerning issues related to the care of individuals who are visually impaired. Issues reviewed include determining who should be referred for vision rehabilitation services, Charles Bonnet syndrome, visual acuity, contrast sensitivity and visual field testing along with Useful Field of View testing. This article also discusses technology advances that can enhance the visual functioning of individuals who are visually impaired, including how these advances can help drivers with visual impairments to continue to safely operate motor vehicles, at least on a limited basis. Finally, resources that are available to both encourage and motivate patients to take advantages of vision rehabilitation services are reviewed.
