The goal of low vision rehabilitation is to produce people who are independent, have an economically viable profession or skill, and are able to enjoy their lives. Patients with hereditary retinal dystrophies are candidates for low vision rehabilitation from the time of diagnosis, since their disease shows a progressive course, there is no proven precise treatment and the disease especially seriously affects the vision of individuals of school age and productive age. The stages of modern low vision rehabilitation include the intake interview, assessment of residual visual functions, assessment of residual functional vision, interventions and recommendations, and vision rehabilitation therapies.
