What causes low vision?
Many factors can contribute to low vision, including congenital conditions, eye injuries, ocular diseases, and systemic health issues. Some of the most common causes include diabetes, age-related macular degeneration, cataracts, and glaucoma. Since early detection plays a key role in preserving vision, regular eye exams every one to two years are essential for identifying potential concerns and preventing vision loss.
