Low Vision

Low vision is a partial loss of sight. It is often a loss of visual acuity or sharpness, but may be a loss of side vision or extreme difficulty with light or glare.  Low Vision exists when functional vision cannot be adequately corrected with eyeglasses, contact lenses, medications or surgery. Low vision services do not cure the cause of low vision but rather utilize the remaining vision to its fullest potential. Low Vision does not replace the need for other concurrent treatments such as surgery or medical care.

Common causes of low vision which we work with include:

Macular Degeneration
Albinism
Retinitis pigmentosa
Histoplasmosis
Glaucoma
Diabetic Retinopathy
Retinopathy of Prematurity
Eye Injuries
Brain Tumors
