1. Training in Visual Efficiency
2. Favorable Visual Environment
3. Way to Help Reading- The children should be encouraged to read with book-stands so that they do not have to bend over the table for too long. Reading with page markers and reading windows will be helpful to the children, who find it difficult to focus on a word or a line of print. Lamps with variable light intensity and position can provide the children with suitable lighting for reading.
4. Way to help Writing- Writing may be a great problem to many mild and moderate low vision children. Black felt pens or soft dark pencils can be used with bold-line paper for writing. The children can also be taught to type or use a computer for writing. Long sessions of desk work should also be avoided to prevent the children from visual fatigue.
5. Way to Save Vision- The children should be asked to use close vision and intermediate vision at alternate intervals so that they can relax visually. Since these children are unable to see demonstrations and writing from the distance, they should be encouraged to make proper use of optical or technical aids in order to see clearly.
