LVPEI’s Institute for Vision Rehabilitation
Established in 1992, LVPEI’s Institute for Vision Rehabilitation empowers people with low vision and blindness to become key, productive members of society.
We believe vision loss is not the end of the road. The chance to fulfil the dream of a meaningful and productive life must be open to every human being. Even if their eyesight is diminishing, the hope for the future must never dim.
Institute for Vision Rehabilitation
Vision Rehabilitation is an integral part of the L V Prasad Eye Institute’s pyramidal model of care delivery and our services are delivered at all levels across the LVPEI’s network.
When conventional treatments – medical or surgical – fail to prevent or restore vision loss, vision rehabilitation and sight enhancement services work at empowering people with low vision and blindness – to become important contributing members of the society. These services are a combination of learning daily living and work related skills, and the use of suitable low vision devices, along with customized counseling.
These comprehensive services range from assessment and prescription of low vision devices (such as magnifiers to help patients with low vision read again) to social, educational, and vocational rehabilitation through training or re-training patients with low vision and blindness to the highest possible level of their functional ability.
