Low Vision Assessment
An experienced optometrist will test your vision and evaluate your visual
needs. When appropriate, the most helpful optical aids will be prescribed for
you. Loaners will be made available to you for 2 to 3 weeks. A professional
is also available for providing training to use the prescribed aids. The latest
information on medical developments and beneficial nutrition may be discussed
for your best interests.
Glare Control
Glare can be hindering and even intolerable to individuals with low vision.
Specially designed polarized lenses with UV & AB protection reduce glare
and provide greater visual comfort and performance. The glare control shields
selected for evaluation and display in our Low Vision Clinic are both effective
and stylish.
Lighting
Lighting influences visual comfort and performance. For people who have reduced
vision, appropriate lighting is essential for accomplishing almost every task,
especially when using magnifiers. Proper illumination can be achieved by using
the right type of illuminated magnifiers, lamps, or by the arrangement of light
sources.
