Magnification, illumination and better contrast (how well text or objects stand out) are key components of helping people with vision loss but missing spots, especially in the center vision area, can also be very disruptive to function - reading, writing and other fine detail activities. The adaptation to this deficit is rarely automatic and often requires some training and education. Evaluation, training and education by a low vision specialist can be very productive to improving functional results.
