Abstract. Purpose:To report the current status of optical low vision aids used by patients attending a low-vision clinic. Cases and Method:This survey was made on 248 visually handicapped persons who were attending low-vision care clinic of a university hospital during the past 4-year period. The series comprised 120 males and 128 females. Their age averaged 65 years. Visual disability was caused by glaucoma(35%),diabetic retinopathy(15%),macular degeneration(18%),and others. Patients were offered visual aids after consultation,visual acuity and field,and findings by MNREAD-J. They were then asked which visual aid they preferred. Results:The most preferred visual aid was closed-circuit television(86%),followed by monocular magnifier(35%),dome-type magnifier with magnification of 2 to 3 times(34%),and magnifier with built-in illumination(30%). Desk-top magnifier with magnification of 8 times or more was used by 4%. Conclusion:Low-vision clinics are recommended to advise patients regarding visual aids with the above data in mind.
