New Movies
Produced by the Low Vision Centers of Indiana
Bioptic Driving
Movie
We have two new videos to help educate
patients. The first is on bioptic driving. It is an 8 minute video which
was created by our staff. It has our patients driving with Sue
Henderson, a Driving Rehabilitation Specialist from South Bend Memorial
Hospital. This movie explains the concept of bioptic eyewear, the
fitting process, the training required and the rules for bioptic driving
in Indiana.
Red Central
Contact Lenses for Achromatopsia Video
Our second video is on the use of red
centered contact lenses to aid those with Achromatopsia. Achromats have
extreme glare and light issues which can be helped with the use of these
lenses. Additionally, these lenses have been found to be very beneficial
in bioptic driving. They allow the partial Achromat to see brake lights
and traffic lights both of which were very difficult before wearing the
red centered lenses.
Additionally, we have developed a movie
on the EyeFine system. This video explains how this system was
developed, how it is fit and for different activities it cab be used
for. The EyeFine has the widest field of view of any auto-focusing
system and can be used for reading, using the computer and watching
television.
Each of these movies are available on
VHS. The movie on red centered contact lenses can also be viewed on our
website. www.eyeassociates.com.

CBS Evening News with Dan Rather Features Our
Jordy Patient
On February 18, 2000, Dan Rather’s Eye on America
segment of the CBS Evening News featured our patient Marcia Gevers. Marcia was
one of the first patients to be fit with the new
Jordy
System. Though
profoundly visually impaired, Marcia’s Jordy now allow her to see the faces of
her friends and lets her perform her duties as a rehabilitation teacher.
Our practice was one of the first in the world to
fit
the Jordy system. Dr. Windsor first tested the system on Marcia during a
seminar Dr. Windsor was conducting at Indiana
University/Purdue University Regional Campus in Fort Wayne.
She was later evaluated by Dr. Windsor at the Vision
Rehabilitation Clinic in Fort Wayne. Marcia had been a patient of Dr. Windsor
for many years and also uses a Designs for Vision Microscopic bifocal and a
conventional CCTV. Marcia's response to the system was amazing. Though she
had used other low vision devices, the Jordy allowed her do and see things
that none of the other systems could. When it appeared that cost might limit her
ability to obtain the Jordy, her friends and an area Lion’s Club came
together to raise the funds and were able to surprise her shortly before
Christmas at the Tiny Tim Diner in Fort Wayne.
