title: Managing the low vision patient.
abstract: The low vision child has long been neglected by the professional community. A self-analysis of the usefulness of optometric service must be made as to professional attitudes and the understanding of the low vision aids as well as the patient that is expected to wear them. Once these hurdles are overcome, the optometrist is more able to help the low vision child become a productive, contributing member of society.
