Adult Providing Access to the Visual Environment (PAVE) - Glaucoma Pilot
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Glaucoma
In brief
We wish to evaluate a potential training program for patients with glaucoma, to become more efficient users of prescribed low vision devices for distance and near vision tasks. We hypothesize that the devices will improve efficiency. Prescribed devices will include a stand magnifier, a handheld magnifier, spectacle magnifiers for near vision, and a handheld monocular (telescope) and a bioptic telescope (spectacle-mounted telescope) for distance vision. The success of being able to use optical devices is dependent upon training. Optical devices are currently accepted and used for patients with visual conditions that decrease their central vision. The bioptic telescope is a pair of glasses with a small telescope mounted within the carrier lens. The glasses look and feel like a normal pair of glasses, but have a black device (telescope) protruding from the top of one lens for better identifying distance objects. The spectacle magnifier is mounted in a pair of glasses also for near vision
