“…Today, VLRC is primarily funded by provincial governments, though at the time of publication of most included sources, VLRC was a component of CNIB charitable services. Vision loss rehabilitation involves training in the use of sight enhancement and/or sight substitution skills, strategies, and assistive devices (Gordon et al, 2015, p. 85). This organization provides multidisciplinary vision loss rehabilitation services including functional vision assessments, eye disease education, counselling, essential skills for daily living, travel and mobility instruction, assistive technology services, and, in some provinces, early intervention for children and their families (VLRC, n.d.).…”

“…Comprehensive VR refers to ‘a multidisciplinary endeavour that encompasses the full spectrum of a patient’s rehabilitation journey after vision loss, from initial assessment through intensive rehabilitation therapy, laying the foundation for a healthy and independent life in the community’ (Gordon et al, 2015, p. 85). The WHO’s (2013) Global Eye Health Action Plan 2014–2019 explicitly refers to VR as an essential component of eye care and emphasizes its importance in mitigating the negative consequences of vision loss.…”

“…It has the potential to scale to many rural communities that are underserviced with respect to diabetic retinopathy screening and could be used as a strategy in conjunction with the Medical Mobile Care Unit (known as the CNIB Eye Van). The CNIB Eye Van is a fully equipped medical mobile eye care clinic that travels (with an ophthalmologist on board) to patients in Northern Ontario, from March through October each year [20,21]. The CNIB Eye Van was cancelled in 2020 owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, leaving patients without care.…”

“…The main intervention to improve functional vision for persons with LV is LV rehabilitation, where individuals acquire strategies and tools to be able to complete their desired tasks. 25 For example, clients undergoing LV rehabilitation may learn how to use their peripheral retina for reading instead of using their compromised central macular vision. 26 Another way to overcome the challenges associated with LV is the use of assistive devices, for example, for magnification.…”
