Low vision - visual aids

Advanced retinal diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) or retinitis pigmentosa (RP) can severely affect daily life. Since medicine is reaching its limits here, those affected have little choice but to make the best of the situation.

• Mental support: You are not alone in this situation, get help through self-help groups and psychological support
• Vision training: Targeted training helps to use remaining vision in such a way that everyday life can be carried out more independently again
• Visual aids: Reading devices such as magnifying glasses and screens make it possible to read everyday media such as newspapers and journals
