Why is it important?
Understanding the barriers and facilitators in low vision rehabilitation will help us identify who will most benefit from this type of rehabilitation intervention, and how to best reach and convince them to utilize these services.
Perspectives
We have been collecting data in Montreal on the Barriers study for over 10 years now and we have learned so much about how and why people remain unaware of the benefits of vision rehabilitation. However, the picture is slowly changing and more clients benefit from our interventions.
