“…In the last 10 years, there has been an explosion in technological advances, many of which are useful for people with a visual impairment. For example, many patients with low vision now benefit from using electronic books and/or software that enables individualised text enlargement and speech output …”

Over the last 50 years, the concept of a low vision service has changed considerably. It has moved away from just the optometrist or optician dispensing magnifiers, to having a large team working across the health and social/ community care sectors, with voluntary organisations often playing an important role. This paper reviews how low vision rehabilitation services have evolved and what models of low vision care are currently available. It goes on to consider the effectiveness and accessibility of low vision care. Over the last 50 years, the focus of low vision care has moved from helping people with a visual impairment to read with magnifiers, to a holistic rehabilitation process involving a range of professionals.

“…Beispiele für die zweite Annahme sind die Ausführungen von Davidson (2005) zu den Auswirkungen des in der Wissenschaftskommunikation erfolgten Wechsels von Printmedien auf elektronische Medien für die betroffenen Personen und Institutionen, oder die Studie an der University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill von Hemminger/ Vaughan/Adams (2007), die unter Universitätsangehörigen eine vermehrte Verwendung elektronischer Ressourcen zeigt. Weiters stellen Martinez-Estrada/Conaway (2012) eine permanente Zunahme der E-Book-Nutzung sei-tens Studierender fest, und Gill et al (2013) thematisieren Vorteile von elektronischen Medien für Personen mit Sehschwäche.…”

ZusammenfassungIm Rahmen dieser Untersuchung wird ermittelt, wie intensiv derzeit Printmedien im Vergleich zu elektronischen Medien im universitären Bereich genutzt werden. Besonders wird dabei auf die Nutzung von Büchern, Zeitschriften und Zeitungen eingegangen und analysiert, ob es geschlechter-, alters-, universitäts- und gruppenspezifische Unterschiede im Nutzungsverhalten gibt. Die dafür benötigten Daten wurden mittels strukturierter Befragung von 554 Studierenden und 436 Universitätslehrenden erhoben. Anhand der Ergebnisse lässt sich erkennen, dass Printmedien im universitären Bereich nach wie vor von großer Bedeutung sind, wobei ältere Nutzer, Nutzer aus dem Geisteswissenschaftlichen Bereich sowie Nutzer aus der Gruppe der Universitätslehrenden sowohl für berufliche als auch für private Zwecke besonders stark auf Printmedien zurückgreifen.

“…This is because of the higher contrast and brighter background on the screens of these devices. 12 Further, a number of apps have been designed specifically for patients with low vision. The TapTapSee 13 and VizWiz 14 are apps used to take pictures of objects and provide an audio description of the pictures taken.…”

Quality of life in low vision patients is deeply conditioned by their visual ability, and increased rates of depression, domestic injury, and need for caregiver assistance can be expected as a result of low performance. Much effort have been made recently in order to develop new tools and aids for rehabilitation of low vision, and this research has led to better knowledge of visual function and increased the likelihood of new therapies in the future. Modern low vision rehabilitation is the result of recent advances in science and technology, and will soon have an important role in people with vision impairment, numbers of whom are likely to increase, give the increasing age of the population. This review outlines scientific developments in low vision rehabilitation based on a search of the literature, covers the role of digital technology and advances in neurofunctional rehabilitation, and the possibility of restoring vision by use of retinal prostheses and cellular therapy.
