February is Low Vision Awareness Month
February is recognized as Low Vision Awareness Month, a time to increase understanding about low vision and how it affects millions of people of all ages.
Low vision is a visual impairment that cannot be fully corrected with glasses, contact lenses, medication, or surgery. It can make everyday activities like reading, driving, recognizing faces, and using digital devices more difficult.
While low vision may be permanent, many people benefit from specialized eye care, visual aids, and rehabilitation services that help them maintain independence and improve quality of life.
