Doctors can identify the low vision disease, whether it’s cataracts, macular degeneration, or glaucoma, and set up a regiment for these patients that can help deter low vision from occurring. That is to say, we can now be warned well in advance, and prepare for the inevitable with preemptive safeguards.
