Getting to grips with low vision

Auckland university’s School of Optometry and Vision Science (SOVS) held its annual Low Vision Day on 7 March 2019. The day is designed for final year (part five) optometry students to gain valuable hands on experience working with low vision patients to increase our knowledge and awareness of the difficulties people with vision impairments face and to enhance our low vision examination skills. Some speakers and workshop instructors had flown in specially to attend the event, so we were all very excited to see what was in store.
