     Home | Disease | Low vision



Low vision is a subspecialty within the professions of optometry and ophthalmology dealing with individuals who have reduced vision even when using the best possible spectacle or contact lens correction available. It can be a result of either congenital disease (e.g. retinitis pigmentosa or Leber's congenital amaurosis) or acquired factors (such as in some forms of optic atrophy).

From his 1977 album Low Lyrics: Ahhh... Ahhh... Doo, doo, dooohoo, doo, doo doo, doo, doo, doo, do-do, doohoo Don't you wonder sometimes 'Bout sound and vision Blue, blue, electric blue That's the colour of my room Where I will live Blue, blue Pale blinds drawn all day Nothing to do, nothing to say Blue, blue I will sit right down, waiting for the gift of sound and vision And I will sing, waiting for the gift of sound and vision Drifting into my solitude, over my head Don't you wonder sometimes 'Bout sound and vision
