Abstract Purpose:To report the outcome of a survey concerning the situation regarding in 10 years after the introduction of a medical fee for low-vision care among ophthalmologists.

Subjects and Methods:A mailing list was complied from a group of 822 ophthalmologists who had completed a workshop on prescribing and correctly fitting low-vision aids for the visually impaired. Anonymous Google Form questionnaire was sent to all 822 members.

Results:Responses came from a total of 138 ophthalmologists(16.8% of the survey participants). 94.9% of respondents worked full-time, 41.3% worked at an ophthalmology clinic, and 42.0% had 20 to 30 years of experience in ophthalmology. 80.4% of respondents considered that low-vision care was most commonly thought of as time consuming. 34.8% answered that they performed low-vision care themselves before the medical fee was established. 32.6% started it because of the establishment of the medical fee for low-vision care established. 94.9% thought that the medical fee for low-vision care was a good idea, and 81.2% answered that it increased their interest in low-vision care. The financial guarantee for implementing low-vision care was the most frequent answer(73.9%), regarding the benefits of the medical fee 50% of respondents cited their own perceived lack of knowledge on the issue as ongoing concern. Many opinions about facility criteria, low costs, and anxieties over their knowledge were expressed.

Conclusion:Many positive opinions about the medical fee for low-vision care were expressed in the survey. It was noted that the fee provided an opportunity to start low-vision care. Future studies need to focus on the environment and the education around low-vision care.
