[Low vision and care strategy].

A low vision method is based on tests or exercices whose supports are, how the visual system works as a whole, with independant separated frequential canals, an elaboration of a mental representation with the intervention of memory mechanism and prototypie structuration of objects, a multisensorial analysis of the representation and not only a visual analysis. Two goals are pursued within this method: firstly, the evaluation consists of defining the patient's visual capacity and the means he carried out; secondly the reeducation, through appropriate practices, enables the patient to get aware of his limits. Through this awareness, the patient gets a better use of his visual capacity.
