Low Vision Wish List

Low Vision Rehabilitation is all about quality of life and improving daily activities.  It is also about setting realistic visually-guided goals. 


Binocular Reading Spectacle Miniature Telescope

Spectacle Miniature Telescopes (SMTs), Implantable Miniature Telescopes (IMTs) and Electronic Magnification Aids will make vision better.  How much better?  That depends on the level of vision, what you want to see and do, and your ability to learn new ways of seeing. 
          Activities of Daily Living
Reading a book or the newspaper 
Reading prescriptions and medicine bottles   
Writing checks and using the check register
 
Watching television
          Seeing and recognizing faces
Reading price tags and package ingredients
 
Reading recipes and directions
 
Resuming hobbies and recreational activities
 
Spotting walk signs and street signs

No two patients with low vision see and function in the same way.  A low vision evaluation determines what glasses and devices are most appropriate to regain and maximize vision.
