Purpose of review: Vision rehabilitation has been considered as an adjunct support option or just the dispensing of magnifiers in the management of macular degeneration.
Recent findings: New research suggests that vision rehabilitation can cause physical changes in the brain that help patients adjust to permanent vision loss.
Summary: Vision rehabilitation is related to physical changes that occur in the brain. Its use in conjunction with clinical low-vision programs may pave the way for developing better rehabilitation techniques for patients with macular blindness.
