What do Low Vision Occupational Therapists do?

Low vision occupational therapists help individuals with low vision improve their independence and quality of life by teaching them to use their remaining vision effectively and adapt tasks and their environment. 

They provide assessments and training in visual techniques such as eccentric viewing, recommend and train clients on assistive technology and devices, such as magnifiers, and offer strategies for home safety, mobility, and managing daily activities, such as cooking and medication management. 

How do they help with visual skills?

Teach visual techniques: They train clients in visual scanning, tracking, and eccentric viewing to make the most of their usable vision. 

Improve contrast and lighting: OTs provide strategies for using appropriate lighting, managing glare, and increasing contrast to enhance visibility for tasks.
