Low vision means that even with regular glasses, contact lenses, medicine or surgery, people find everyday tasks difficult to do. Reading the mail, shopping, cooking, watching television and writing can seem challenging. Millions of Americans lose some of their vision every year. Irreversible vision loss is most common among people over age 65. Some people develop low vision because of eye diseases and health conditions, such as macular degeneration, cataract, glaucoma and diabetes.
Some people develop vision loss after eye injuries or from birth defects.
While vision that is lost usually cannot be restored, many people can make the most of the vision they have. Contact us for further information regarding vision disorders .
