Abstract Purpose:In this study, we aim to examine the various supports used in individuals with low vision and their correlation with visual function.

Subjects and Methods:The study included 113 individuals with low vision(65 women and 48 men)with an average age of 63.1±20.1 years. The causes of low vision were glaucoma(35 cases), retinitis pigmentosa(26 cases), age-related macular degeneration(15 cases), and others(37 cases). The better eye's average logMAR visual acuity was 0.86±0.61(decimal visual acuity 0.14), the average peripheral visual field angle was 97.0±115.6 degrees, and the average central visual field angle was 4.0±15.5 degrees. The support included magnifying lenses, shaded glasses, magnifying TV readers, smartphones/tablets, and walking practice. The patients were divided into two groups:those applicable for support and those not, to statistically examine differences in visual acuity and visual field angles.

Results:The shaded glasses-applicable group showed significantly better visual acuity compared to the non-applicable group(p=0.02). The magnifying TV reader-applicable group had significantly worse visual acuity(p<0.01)and peripheral visual fields(p=0.046)compared to the non-applicable group. The walking practice-applicable group had significantly worse visual acuity(p=0.02)and peripheral visual fields(p<0.01)compared to the non-applicable group. No significant differences were observed in visual acuity and visual fields between the groups for magnifying lenses and smartphones/tablets.

Conclusion:The need for various supports for individuals with low vision is related to visual acuity and fields;however, some associations are not clear, indicating that decisions may be determined by factors other than visual function, including employment, education, and personal interest.
