People with low vision frequently have difficulty reading, balancing their checkbook, watching or participating in sports, watching television or movies, performing adequately at work, performing household chores, cooking, going to school, or maintaining their hobbies. This disability affects people of any age and frequently leads to frustration and depression. Fortunately, there are many forms of low vision assistance which aid individuals in their daily life. At the Eye Care Center we offer comprehensive low vision services and resources to help our patients cope with their visual loss and increase their function and maintain independence.
Many people are candidates for low vision evaluation and therapy .
Second, since there are no magic glasses that will restore sight, the patient must have the desire and motivation to participate in low vision evaluation and training. Many eye diseases lead to low vision and thus benefit from low vision services. Eye Trauma Low Vision Assistance takes many forms ranging from optical aids to non-optical devices, occupational therapy, and other services. At the Eye Care Center, we help people identify their vision needs, and then help choose the correct optical and non-optical devices to meet those needs. Where devices fail, we will direct our patients to the appropriate national and community resources to help accomplish their goals.
