The Low Vision Rehabilitation Service at the Illinois Eye Institute is dedicated to patients who are visually disabled and cannot be managed through medical or surgical treatment. The goal of the service is to help patients attain the highest level of independent living possible given their visual limitations.

Patient services include:

  • Evaluation of partially sighted and visually disabled patients
  • Counseling and social services to help patients deal with the emotional trauma of vision loss and take advantage of applicable community resources
  • Optical correction for partially sighted patients using specially designed optical systems
  • Orientation and mobility training, including individualized adaptive training for daily living tasks.
