What is

Low Vision?

Low vision is vision loss that makes it hard to do everyday activities. The vision loss cannot be corrected with ordinary glasses, contact lenses, or surgery.

Low vision can include blind spots, poor night vision, limited side vision and blurry vision. At a Low Vision Clinic, the client is helped to make the best of the remaining vision. Advice will be given, and aids will be recommended to enhance the remaining vision.

Low Vision Aids can be different types of magnifiers, tinted lenses, telescopes, special task lighting to name a few.

The Jannie Mouton Low Vision Clinic launched on 14 October 2020.

With the support of multiple donors, the ultimate one-stop eye care facility was established and is open to the public.
