Abstrakt: Ophthalmic rehabilitation refers to the multidisciplinary approach to restoring, maximizing, and preserving the visual function and quality of life for patients affected by ocular manifestations of cancer or its treatments. Besides its approach to low vision, ophthalmic rehabilitation also encompasses a series of reconstructive interventions to mitigate anatomic deficits that may interplay with visual impairment. A gamut of oncologic conditions may result in ocular disabilities, including primary intraocular tumours, secondary metastases, or adverse effects of systemic therapies such as chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. Methods of ophthalmic rehabilitation are evolving constantly and involve the prescription of optical aids and adaptive technologies to enhance remaining vision, as well as supportive training and counselling to address psychosocial effects. Although studies in low vision have mostly covered aspects of rehabilitation in inherited and degenerative eye conditions, ophthalmic rehabilitation within the context of cancer carries specificities that have been poorly explored in the literature on ophthalmology and oncology. This review aims to build on the trends of low vision management, ocular oncology treatments, orbital reconstructive surgery, and visual therapy to revise the published rationale behind evaluating and managing patients facing debilitating ocular sequelae as the result of cancer.
