The roles of the optometrist who prescribes low vision aids to partially sighted persons and the other professionals who provide training and follow-up services are related to the successful use of such aids. The necessity of acquiring general, non-optometric information concerning the prescription and the uses to which it will be put by the patient is emphasized. In an informal study involving 25 patients, it was found that eight had stopped using the prescribed aid because of changes in vision and/or changes in their visual tasks. Continued use was found to be affected by the type of lens prescribed and whether appropriate training and follow-up were provided.

Visual impairment is increasing as a major disability in our aging population. Recent medical and surgical advances in diagnosis and treatment are adding to the increasing numbers of partially sighted persons. Rehabilitation with low vision aids will therefore assume an important role in keeping the “older” individual active, alert, and independent.
