Customized Vision Solutions
Every person who I care for in my low vision practice has different desires and capabilities. They have differing amounts of remaining vision and each has different activities that they are seeking help with. Activities that are important to them that they can no longer participate in due to the limitations of their vision.
As you will see from the photos and patient experiences on this blog there are many different types of low vision eyeglasses that can be prescribed to help people whose vision is damaged by eye disease. There are other types of devices that can help as well
The purpose of a low vision evaluation is to help maximize remaining vision and to prescribe appropriately to meet each patient's unique needs. That takes time and skill gained from many years of experience. There are just a small number of optometrists who have the specialized equipment necessary and who are willing to spend the amount of time that low vision care takes.
Helping patients with low vision is something that I enjoy a great deal. I enjoy getting to know each patient. I enjoy the challenges determining what devices are going to help this patient the most. I enjoy the blessing of being able to help people who, many times, have been told that nothing will help them. Practicing low vision optometry is truly an exciting challenge and blessing to me.
If you have lost vision and have been told that nothing can be done. I will be happy to talk with you by phone and discuss your challenges, your frustrations and your goals. By questioning you I will be able to tell you if low vision glasses will help you. I will offer you an appointment only if I am quite certain that I can help. Call me toll free 866 321-2030
