Low Vision Aids in Ambala
Comprehensive Low Vision Solutions for All Ages
Low vision is a permanent visual impairment that cannot be corrected completely with standard glasses, contact lenses, medication, or surgery. It significantly affects the ability to carry out everyday activities such as reading, writing, watching television, or recognizing faces.
This condition is not complete blindness, but it does make routine tasks extremely challenging without special support.
Common Causes of Low Vision:
- Macular degeneration
- Diabetic retinopathy
- Glaucoma
- Retinitis pigmentosa
- Optic nerve damage
