A member asked:
Can you be visually impaired and glasses not work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unfortunately yes.: If you have more serious eye problem than simple nearsightedness or astigmatism, it is likely that glasses won't help. A wide range of disorders cause visual impairment, so see an ophthalmologist, who is best qualified to help treat your visual impairment whatever the cause.
