Abstract. Purpose:To report the role of ophthalmologists in low-vision clinic. Cases:A 62-year-old female visited our low-vision clinic for retinitis pigmentosa. Corrected visual acuity was hand motion right and light perception left. Nuclear cataract was present in both eyes. After cataract surgery,visual acuity improved to 0.07 right and 0.01 left followed by improved daily activity. Another 71-year-old female had been treated by us for 21 years. Initial corrected visual acuity was 0.3 in either eye due to high myopia with chorioretinal atrophy. Use of hard contact lens resulted in visual acuity of 0.7 right and 0.5 left. After cataract surgery 7 years before,she had visual acuity of 0.2 right and 1.0 left. She was referred to low-vision clinic for failing vision in the left eye. Corrected visual acuity was 0.3 in either eye. Intraocular pressure,perimetry and funduscopy led to the detection of glaucoma. Intraocular pressure normalized after treatment. Conclusion:These two cases illustrate that ophthalmologists ought to play an active role in low-vision clinic in order to detect hitherto unidentified eye problems.
