- What
Is Low Vision?
Low Vision is a condition that exists when an individual’s
remaining vision leaves them unable to maintain the previous level
of visual activity, due to the onset of eye disease or traumatic
injury. Low vision is the residual visual acuity of the eye after
correction with eyeglasses or contact lenses.
BETACOM OPTIC provides a comprehensive line of low vision aids.
