The aim of this paper is to assess the importance of proper selection of optical corrective aid for individuals with high refractive error which is one of the possible causes of decreased visual acuity and describe the subsequent training needs for propper use of the corrective aid. Reduction of visual functions is a common cause of many limitations in the implementation of individual's everyday activities and hinders social inclusion.

Keywords: a high refractive error, optical corrective aid, education, training, visual impairment
