Low vision or eyesight is the loss of sight that is not correctible with prescription eyeglasses, contact lenses or any allopathic medication and surgeries.
Low vision or eyesight does not include complete blindness, because there is still some sight, and it can be improved with Homeopathic treatment.
Low vision or eyesight includes different degrees of sight loss, from blind spots, poor night vision and problems with glare to an almost complete loss of sight.
Low vision or eyesight has two categories:
- “Partially sighted”: the person has visual acuity between 20/70 and 20/200 with conventional prescription lenses.
- “Legally blind”: the person has visual acuity no better than 20/200 with conventional correction and/or a restricted field of vision less than 20 degrees wide.
The ratio measurement of vision describes visual acuity, or the sharpness of vision, at 20 feet from an object. For example, having 20/70 vision means that you must be at 20 feet to see what a person with normal vision can see at 70 feet.
Causes of Low vision or eyesight
There may be one or more causes of low vision or eyesight. These are usually the result of disorders or injuries affecting the eye or a disorder such as diabetes that affects the entire body. Some of the most common causes of low vision include age-related macular degeneration, diabetes and glaucoma. Low vision or eyesight may also result from cancer of the eye, albinism, brain injury or inherited disorders of the eye including retinitis pigmentosa etc.

An eye exam can diagnose low vision. The tests include the use of lighting, magnifiers and special charts to help test visual acuity, depth perception and visual field.
All it takes to diagnose farsightedness and/or Myopia (nearsightedness or shortsightedness) is a basic eye exam.
Doctor will have a patient read a chart across the room. If that test shows hyperopia, Then use retinoscope to look at how light reflects off patient’s retina. After that use a phoropter to decide on the best prescription for glasses, contact lense or start proper treatment.
Types of Low vision or eyesight
Myopia
Myopia also known as nearsightedness or shortsightedness is a common condition of the eye where the person can see things near him clearly while those at a distance seem blurry.
It may develop slowly or gradually. Myopia mainly occurs when the light entering the eye does not directly focus on the retina, but rather in front of it; that’s why person suffering from myopia tends to partially close his eyes to see clearly.
Myopic patients often complain of headaches due to eye strain and blink excessively.
Hyperopia (Farsightedness)
Allopathic treatment
Some sight disorders, like diabetes-related retinopathy, can be treated to restore or maintain vision. With allopathic treatment, this is not possible, that’s why low vision or eyesight could be permanent. Allopathic doctors only advise aids for low vision or eyesight; some popular allopathic low vision aids include:
- Telescopic glasses.
- Lenses that filter light.
- Magnifying glasses.
- Hand magnifiers.
- Closed-circuit television.
- Reading prisms.
Some patients with retinitis pigmentosa who have no useful vision may be eligible for the Argus II retinal prosthesis. This device partially restores vision to patients who have lost their sight. In some patients the restored vision allows for them to independently navigate through doorways, sidewalks, sort light and dark colored laundry, or even read large letters.
Non-optical aids designed for people with low vision include:
- Text reading software.
- Check guides.
- High contrast clocks and watches.
- Talking watches and clocks.
- Large print publications.
- Clocks, phones and watches with enlarged numbers.
