title: Head trauma and low vision: clinical modifications for diagnosis and prescription.
abstract: Head-trauma patients benefit from many optical and non-optical devices usually associated with low vision care. This article reviews the most common modifications of clinical examination techniques required to facilitate the evaluation of trauma patients who may benefit from or require low vision devices. A discussion of the importance of incorporating common optical and non-optical devices which can enhance the lives of traumatized patients will follow.
