The term "low vision" is used to describe a visual impairment that hinders a child’s ability to perform everyday tasks, despite the use of glasses, contact lenses or medical and surgical therapy. If your child has low vision, the Low Vision Service at Boston Children’s Hospital can help.
Our service is aimed at determining what visual aids can help your child best utilize his remaining vision to its fullest potential -- whether we’re helping him read, write, participate in school or learn to drive.
