  • Unpublished data from a study we conducted for the Ontario Ministry of Health Assistive Devices Branch found only three community-based low vision service providers out of seventy-five with access to an on-site CCTV system. Two of these practices used the CCTV almost exclusively for demonstration purposes (patient education) and not as part of an organized assessment protocol.
