Background: Peters anomaly is a congenital eye disease with a central corneal opacity, shallow anterior chamber, iridocorneal synechiae, and corneal layer abnormalities. Patients may have severe visual impairment due to corneal opacification or glaucoma. Purpose: This presentation will discuss Peters anomaly family visual examination and rehabilitation. Methods and Results: Four family members visual acuity, reading acuity, visual field, contrast sensitivity, and color vision were evaluated along with their needs and goals. The father was given a video magnifier, advised to read in strong light, and given a cane to walk. The first daughter tried few magnifiers and favored a 12.00D binocular spectacle for near work and a binocular telescope for far vision. The second daughter had stronger eyesight than her sister and was issued a 4.00D binocular spectacle for near work and advised to set in the front in class. Both girls were told to write and read with a typoscope, felt pen, and reading stand. The son does not attend school and was taught to utilize a mobile phone app to read or enlarge small prints and an 8x monocular telescope for distance vision. He was also directed to a local organization that trains disabled youngsters in occupational skills. The mother was referred to a counseling group for mothers of low-vision children due to stress and anxiety. Conclusions: Low vision rehabilitation might vary by age, visual function, and goals for patients with the same condition.
