Abstract
Purpose: This report aims to discuss a case involving family members diagnosed with Peters' anomaly, detailing the clinical characteristics, vision assessment, and rehabilitation.
Patients and methods: A family comprises two daughters and a son, were diagnosed with Peters' anomaly. Assessment included: visual and reading acuity, visual field, contrast sensitivity, and color vision. Different devices were employed based on each individual's visual needs and capabilities.
Results: The first daughter exhibited a visual acuity of 6/75 at distance and 6/95 at near in the better eye, along with a restricted visual field, moderate contrast sensitivity, and normal color vision. The second daughter had 6/60 visual acuity in both eyes, a restricted visual field, moderate contrast sensitivity, and abnormal color vision. Both girls were given a +12.00D binocular spectacle for near, and a telescope for distance, additionally, they were recommended to utilize a typoscope, felt pen, and reading stand for near tasks. The son had 6/75 vision at distance and near in both eyes, a restricted visual field, significantly reduced contrast sensitivity, and normal color vision. The son does not attend school; instead, he has been instructed in the use of a mobile phone application designed to magnify small print, and an 8x monocular telescope for distant viewing. He was also referred to a local organization that provides vocational training for young with disabilities. The father had 6/600 at distance and near in both eyes, a restricted visual field, severely reduced contrast sensitivity, and abnormal color vision. He received a video magnifier and advised to utilize bright illumination during reading and to use a cane while walking. The overwhelmed mother was referred to a counselling group for emotional support.
Conclusion: In low vision-rehabilitation, various interventions may be recommended to patients with the same condition based on their age, visual function, and targeted goals.
