The application of assistive technology for visual impairment in low vision rehabilitation
Journal Title: Eye Science (Yanke Xuebao) - Year 2023, Vol 38, Issue 11
Abstract
Patients with low vision are severely impaired in visual function due to different ocular and neurological disorders, which have a serious impact on their daily activities (such as reading and driving), quality of life and mental health. People's perception of external information mainly comes from vision. Expect for the life-threatening major diseases, visual damage has the greatest impact on people's senses. With the ageing of the population, the problem is getting worse, and low vision has become a serious public health problem in the world. Currently the development of low vision rehabilitation is facing a huge challenge in clinical and scientific research, to develop a visual impairment assistance technology that can effectively improve visual function while balancing multiple functions. It requires the joint development and cooperation of multiple disciplines such as medicine, biology, engineering, microelectronics, and computer science. Low vision rehabilitation provides patients with appropriate visual impairment assistance technology, maximizing the use of residual vision and visual function of patients, improving the functional limitations associated with low vision, effectively improving their independence and overall quality of life, and makes it possible for them to live, work and integrate into the society independently. This article reviews the progress in the application on visual impaired assistive technologies such as classic visual aids, artificial vision (visual prostheses/visual sensory replacement devices), transcranial stimulation and visual biofeedback training in low vision rehabilitation.
