Medical Disclaimer
LowVisionGuide.org is an independent educational resource. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment recommendations or individualized clinical guidance.
Education, not medical advice
Nothing on this website — including articles, comparisons, product evaluations and recommendations — is intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any medical condition, or to replace the judgment of a qualified eye-care or medical professional.
Low vision has many causes and presents differently from person to person. Information that is generally accurate does not necessarily apply to your specific eye condition, medical history or circumstances.
Who writes this site
LowVisionGuide.org was founded by someone with lived experience of vision loss, not a physician or low-vision therapist. Content is based on independent research, product evaluation and personal experience — not clinical training or a professional medical credential.
Always consult a qualified professional
For any of the following, consult a qualified eye-care professional, low-vision optometrist, occupational therapist or other appropriate medical specialist rather than relying on this website:
- A new eye-health symptom, sudden vision change or vision loss
- Diagnosis of an eye condition
- A treatment decision, including surgery or medication
- A personalized low-vision evaluation or rehabilitation plan
- Selecting assistive technology for a specific medical need
If you are experiencing a sudden or severe vision change, seek prompt care from an eye-care professional or emergency medical services.
Rehabilitation and professional referrals
Where articles describe low-vision rehabilitation, occupational therapy or vision-rehabilitation professionals, that information is educational. It does not constitute a referral, prescription or professional evaluation. Ask your eye-care provider about a referral to appropriate rehabilitation services.
Product information
Product evaluations and recommendations reflect independent research and, where noted, firsthand use. They are general product information, not a personalized clinical recommendation. A product that works well for one person may not be suitable for another. Trial a device with your own tasks and materials when possible, and consult a low-vision professional for guidance matched to your specific needs.
No physician-patient relationship
Using this website, subscribing to updates or contacting LowVisionGuide.org does not create a physician-patient, therapist-client or other professional-care relationship.
Editorial independence
This disclaimer applies regardless of any sponsorship, affiliate or commercial relationship disclosed elsewhere on this site. See our Editorial Independence Charter for how those relationships are governed.
