摘要:
Twenty-three patients suffering from the progressive cone dystrophies (PCD) were evaluated retrospectively, after they had undergone treatment for low vision. All patients were able to read 1 M or smaller print with magnification, despite poor central acuity. Eighteen (78%) patients achieved their primary rehabilitation goal, and 86% of the low vision devices prescribed were used at follow-up. Photosensitivity was reported by a large number of patients. Seven patients indicated that alleviating this problem was their primary rehabilitation goal. Eight (35%) found sun filters to be helpful. Our successful experience with patients with these disorders suggests that examination for, and trial of, low vision devices is warranted.
