Despite treatment, uveitis can sometimes cause low vision or blindness. Low vision is vision loss that can’t be corrected with glasses or contact lenses and affects daily living.
There are many things you can do to make your daily life easier even if you have lost sight to uveitis.
Special training, called vision rehabilitation, can give you skills for living with vision loss.
Low vision aids are tools that can help you if you have vision loss. Some of these tools include:
- Magnifying lenses or special glasses
- Closed-circuit TVs
- Computers with large screens
- Bright lamps, large-print books and magazines
Stay positive about the challenges of living with low vision. You may need to develop new skills for daily living. Learn as much as you can about resources and rehabilitation services that are available.
It’s common to feel anger, grief and depression when you have vision loss. Losing even part of your vision can be devastating. But stay determined and be persistent. You can make the most of your remaining vision. Know that much of what has to be done to keep your independence and quality of life must be done by you.
