Low vision practitioner and the paraoptometric.
The low vision patient is a complex individual who requires understanding by not only the optometrist but by the paraoptometric. The paraoptometric in effect can determine the outcome of the optical portion of the evaluation. By setting the stage for the evaluation, and by carrying out the recommendations, the paraoptometric plays an invaluable role in determining the success of the low vision patient.
