Apps for people with vision impairment: an international review of practitioner suggestions and app availability
Comparing practitioner recommendations reflects potential differences in access, awareness, training, device availability, and patient needs. Understanding these insights helps to inform clinical decision-making and encourage more consistent and tailored support to diverse patient populations. Given the rapid pace of app development, regular review of the most suitable apps and clear dissemination of reliable information to practitioners are essential for informed evidence-based decision making.
