Abstract
Between July 1970 and July 1973, a total of 1,118 patients were seen at the Vision Rehabilitation Clinic, a part of the Gundersen Eye Clinic, Boston University Medical Center. The visual function of approximately 75 percent of all patients was significantly improved with visual aids and counseling. This high rate of success was the result of innovative programs of social service and counseling integrated into a multidisciplinary approach to low vision care. Although operating the clinic in a hospital setting results in high overhead, the participation of residents in ophthalmology in the activities of the clinic was found to be so important as to warrant its continuation there.
