Occupational therapists offer a unique contribution to the vision rehabilitation team, with a focus on meaningful occupational goals, the incorporation of occupation into therapy, and the orchestration of environmental, social, and non-visual personal factors into a treatment plan. The authors have developed a practical and straightforward text outlining an evaluation approach to interventions that focus on recovering occupational performance in adults.

This book is about the visually impaired. It describes the usual elements of low vision—the low-vision examination, the corrective devices, microscopes, telescopes, hand and stand magnifiers, and nonoptical aids. There is so much more, and the book can be a great reference for the social worker, the physical therapist, the occupational therapist, the optometrist and ophthalmologist, and anyone who works with visually impaired individuals. There is a wealth of information that our authors have made available to the reader. The optics are simple to understand. Anyone who works with visually impaired will comprehend the pathology as most will have been exposed to them. Contributions have been made by prominent men and women such as Dr. Paul Ajamian, Dr. Wayne Hoeft, Dr. Lawrence Kline, Dr. William Padula, Dr. Bruce Rosenthal, Dr. Tracy Williams, and Dr. Norman Weiss. They are some icons in the field of low vision.

Low-vision devices are designed to improve visual performance in children with low vision, thus enabling academic and social adaptation and providing enrichment of daily experiences. The visual field (VF) has a great influence on the telescope adaptation. For eccentric viewing educational training of the TS must be performed before prescription. For those with concentric VF loss, mainly for VF less than 5 degrees, aids should be prescribed with caution. Vision rehabilitation services allow people who have recently lost vision, are blind, or have low vision to continue to live independently and maintain their accustomed quality of life. Vision rehabilitation services for adults who have recently lost vision, are blind, or have low vision are provided by a team of specially trained professionals, which may include low vision therapists, vision rehabilitation therapists, and orientation and mobility specialists. This book is an outcome of several years of painstaking research work done by the author on visually impaired subjects. This study is modest effort by the author on visually impaired studying in integrated and exclusive setting with regard to their academic achievement and level of aspiration matched on age, sex, level of education, intelligence. Socio-economic status are taken as control variables.
