Even if you have been told “nothing can be done to fix your vision” that doesn’t mean you aren’t a candidate for low vision rehabilitation. This special area of vision care involves evaluating your useful vision, offering solutions to suit your needs and abilities, prescribing new lenses and devices, and receiving training with those new glasses and devices.
During a low vision rehabilitation evaluation, your good vision will be tested and a treatment plan will be recommended for new glasses and/or devices. Patients may also receive training and support from our Certified Low Vision Therapist which helps in learning to use new tools and demonstrating ways to make everyday activities easier.
