Secondary prevention
Inform patients with any degree of vision loss about vision rehabilitation, because even early vision loss can be associated with disability. Referral should always be considered in patients who report difficulty with visual tasks, difficulty adjusting to vision change, and with a best corrected visual acuity <20/40 in the better eye. Vision rehabilitation should extend beyond device recommendations and focus on improving meaningful outcomes (i.e., reading, daily living activities, safety, community participation, and psychosocial well-being).[78]
