| Résumé: | Today society places more demands on seeing and processing of visual information than
ever before. Information is given increasingly in a visual way and with a great diversity
like traffic signs, high definition computer monitors, newspapers, books, television,
LCD control panels, etcetera. The expanding flow of visual information places a considerable
demand on visual processing in the occupational as well as in daily life conditions.
As a consequence people with a decreased visual performance will be confronted
sooner than before with their disabilities, which can result in a handicap. More than in
the past rehabilitation is aimed at using the visual potential of the visually impaired
person and the visual function has to be restored to a higher degree of performance in
order to cope with the higher visual demands in daily life. It requires a thorough knowledge
of the visual system and visual rehabilitation. This knowledge can only be
extended by interdisciplinary cooperation: rehabilitation therapist, optometrist, occupational
therapist, ophthalmologist, educationist, psychologist, clinical physicist; all of
them have professional knowledge in the field. Some possess a large amount of empirical
knowledge, other are more educated in the theoretical aspects of vision and visual
impairment. |
