Low vision is a category of vision disabilities, which includes macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, retinitis pigmentosis and certain stroke-related vision deficits. Low vision is defined as vision deficits that cannot be cured by surgery, medication or corrective lenses and significantly interfere with the basic activities of daily living. Low vision is especially prevalent among seniors.
