Living with low vision can be challenging, but it doesn’t mean the end of independent living. Our Low Vision and Rehabilitation Service is designed to help individuals with significant visual impairment maximize their remaining sight and regain control over daily activities. Whether caused by age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, or other eye conditions, we are here to help.
We understand that low vision affects more than just eyesight—it impacts mobility, confidence, communication, and quality of life. That’s why our approach goes beyond diagnosis. We provide personalized support, practical tools, and hands-on training to help patients adapt and thrive despite their visual limitations.
Through comprehensive assessments and compassionate care, we empower our patients with customized strategies, assistive devices, and rehabilitation therapies. Our goal is to help every patient achieve greater independence, dignity, and safety in their daily lives.
Description & Process
Our Low Vision and Rehabilitation Program begins with a detailed visual function assessment, focusing not just on what the patient can’t see, but what they can see. This includes tests for:
-
Visual acuity and contrast sensitivity
-
Peripheral and central vision function
-
Reading ability and task-specific needs
Following the assessment, we create a tailored rehabilitation plan, which may include:
-
Low Vision Aids: Magnifiers, reading lamps, large-print books, electronic vision enhancers, and specialized glasses.
-
Training in Visual Techniques: Learning how to use head movement, lighting adjustments, and contrast to improve functional vision.
-
Home and Work Adaptations: Practical advice on arranging environments for better safety and usability.
-
Emotional Support and Counseling: Helping patients and their families cope with lifestyle changes and emotional challenges.
Follow-up sessions are scheduled to evaluate progress, adjust aids, and reinforce strategies for long-term adaptation.
Result
Our patients often experience remarkable improvements in confidence, functionality, and quality of life. From being able to read a book again to moving around the home safely or recognizing faces, small victories make a big difference.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide hope beyond vision loss. We believe that no matter the level of sight, every individual deserves a chance to live fully, independently, and with dignity. By combining innovation, compassion, and expertise, we help our patients rediscover what’s possible—even with limited vision.
