From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vision Rehabilitation (often called vision rehab) is a term for a medical rehabilitation in order to improve vision or low vision. The rehabilitation is the process of restoring functional ability, quality of life, and independence in an individual who has lost function through illness or injury.
