I have just been interviewed on WFSB and WTNH in
Connecticut regarding the first Implantable Miniature Telescope (IMT) for
treating advanced macular degeneration.
Low Vision is the field of rehabilitation medicine for treating permanent vision loss when there are no glasses, medicine, or surgical options to improve lost eyesight. Low Vision rehabilitation is all about promoting the well-being of those changed by vision loss.

I have been presribing Spectacle Mounted Telescopes (SMTs) for vison enhancement for over twenty years.
Macular degeneration is the leading cause of vision loss in
older adults. People with vision loss and their family members
often do not know where to turn for help. My message has always been:
“There is hope when vision fails”.
Besides being an optometrist, I have a Master of Public
Health degree. I have studied in the prevalence of vision impairment and
strive to improve access to low vision care. I consult with general
ophthalmologists and retina specialists daily.
I would be happy to talk to you or your family member to see if you are a candidate for the IMT, SMT or Electronic Magnification Aids.
