Abstract
The use of low-vision-aids (LVAs) to improve distance and near visual acuity was evaluated in 27 patients. Most of the patients had a useful distance vision with or without glasses, and 24 patients (89%) were prescribed a near visual aid successfully. The high success rate was attributed to young age, strong motivation and myopic refractive error of these patients. We recommend the trial of LVAs to patients with Stargardt’s disease who have visual difficulties.Keywords
