Abstract:People with visual impairment need a variety of assistive devices to compensate for their reduced vision. These people also need to be trained in the use of assistive devices, and visual related functions have to be assessed for them regularly, so as to strengthen their daily life skills. At present, the traditional fitting modes of vision assistive devices such as social institution service mode, low vision outpatient mode and mobile clinic service mode are effective. Due to the limitations of region, specialists, science and technology resources and other factors, the above traditional service modes cannot fully meet the needs of the visually impaired. Based on the internet, the intelligent fitting mode of vision assistive devices has been applied in clinical practice and plays an important role. This review summarizes current knowledge concerning the intelligent fitting system for vision assistive devices, aiming to provide new ideas for the rehabilitation of visual impairment and improve the rehabilitation efficiency of visual impairment.
