Low Vision Examinations Finding the Necessary Means to Function Day to Day
Through the use of various refractive methods, we are able to provide Low Vision Exams to those individuals who are not able to see well enough through their regular glasses. Ocular diseases such as Macular Degeneration, Diabetic Retinopathy, Retinitis Pigmentosa, and the like will cause the loss of vision over time. Needless to say, once vision is lost, it can not be brought back and the use of regular glasses usually does not provide the correction required for these patients. By tailoring the exam to the patient's needs, we can determine the best correction which will give the patient the necessary means to function day to day. By using telescopes, magnifiers, and other low vision aids, we can assist the low vision patient in restoring their functional vision. This will allow them the mobility to move around the house safely and with confidence.
