Low Vision

Improving the Lives of Those With Low Vision

For many people, visual impairments can be corrected through laser eye surgery, glasses, or contact lenses. For others, traditional methods will not provide better eyesight.

If your vision cannot be improved through corrective lenses, this is known as low vision. Thankfully, our dedicated team of eye care professionals helps people live their best lives, regardless of vision condition.

Contact our team today and learn how we can support your sight and enhance your quality of life.

What Causes Low Vision?

Some people are born with low vision, but for others, it is the result of an eye disease. Cataracts, age-related macular degeneration, issues with the visual pathway, and other retinal disorders are the leading causes of low vision.

Acquired traumatic brain injuries and strokes can also cause disruptions of the visual system that result in low vision.

Book an appointment for a low vision assessment, and we will help to uncover the cause of your low vision.

Living with Low Vision

If you have not had a recent dilated eye examination, the first step in helping you live with low vision is to book a comprehensive eye exam. A portion of this appointment will include determining an optimal glasses prescription and a dilated health assessment.

After a recent eye examination, a low vision assessment is scheduled, were we can evaluate in more detail the impact of illumination, contrast, magnification, remaining functional vision, and accessories to enhance what vision you have. This will allow us to determine what visual aids and devices will help enhance your remaining vision and help with certain tasks to maximize your safety and independence. Rest assured, we will use every tool at our disposal to help you see the best you possibly can!

We offer quality devices, magnifiers, and tints from Eschenbach and tints as well from Hilco Vision.
