Özet
Objective: To evaluate the results of low vision aids (LVAs) in low vision patients with various reasons. Material and Methods: Forty-eight patients with low vision in whom visual acuity could not be improved with standart optical corrections were evaluated at neuroophthalmology section of our clinic between January 2010-January 2011. Best corrected visual acuity was measured with Snellen chart for distance, and with Jaeger for near. Patients were examined with high spheric lenses and Eschenbach LVAs for distance and near. Results: Low vision aids were applied to twenty-five cases for near, to six cases for distance, and to three cases for both near and distance. The success rate was 73.7% (twenty-eight out of thirty-eight patients) for near examination and 56.25% (nine out of sixteen patients) for distance. Conclusion: Low vision aids are effective optic systems in low vision patients. LVAs should be tried in all patients with low visual acuity to improve quality of life.
