The Low Vision Rehabilitation Service provides low vision care to help adults and children cope with permanently impaired vision caused by:

  • macular degeneration
  • diabetic retinopathy
  • glaucoma
  • strokes
  • injuries
  • birth defects

Our focus is assisting patients with the practical difficulties caused by reduced vision including reading, computer access, driving, and job performance.

Both visual aids and education are utilized to improve the patient's functional vision for work, home, school, and other environments. To help patients become more independent, we may prescribe:

  • specialty eyeglasses
  • magnifiers
  • telescopes
  • video systems
  • electronic technologies
  • other rehabilitation strategies
