Host of The Wizard of Eyes, Dr. Robert Abel, welcomes guest Bo Smith to share his experience with helping the visually impaired by using low vision therapy.
Low vision is a general term that refers to a permanent functional vision loss that cannot be corrected by medication, surgery, or glasses.
If you have low vision, you may experience a wide array of diseases, field defects, and degrees of vision loss.
Some low vision-causing diseases such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy, may have even taken years to damage the eye.
