Doctor Helps Legally Blind to See Better
Dr.
Randolph Kinkade, Connecticut’s only full-time low vision optometrist, treats macular
degeneration and other vision limiting conditions with telescopic eyeglasses
and other devices. Low vision is defined
as impaired vision that cannot be improved with standard eyeglasses, medication
or surgery.
Dr.
Kinkade has authored the book Guide to Macular Degeneration Eyeglasses: Low Vision Treatment and is a
founding member of the International Academy of Low Vision Specialists.
Low
vision affects a person’s ability to read and write, drive an automobile, see
people’s faces and watch television. “People with low vision have often been
told by their eye doctors that nothing more can be done to help them see
better,” states Dr. Kinkade.
Other
causes include inoperable cataracts, diabetes, glaucoma, retinitis pigmentosa
and optic nerve disease. Genetic defects,
strokes and trauma are additional causes of low vision.
Dr.
Kinkade feels people start noticing difficulty in doing normal day-to-day
activities when their corrected vision becomes less than 20/40. At this level reading the newspaper starts to
be difficult.
On
an eye chart, 20/20 vision is considered normal. An individual has 20/40 vision if the
smallest letters they can see on an eye chart are twice the size of the 20/20
letters. At 20/200 vision, the level of
legal blindness, the smallest size letter seen is 10 times larger than that of
a 20/20 letter.
With
telescopic glasses I can often bring someone with 20/80 vision to see 20/20 on
the eye chart. The vision is a different
kind of 20/20 vision they were used to, but it is a huge improvement over what
is seen without these special glasses,” states Dr. Kinkade.
Dr.
Kinkade reports “these eye glasses consist of miniaturized telescopes
incorporating prescriptions, anti-glare coatings, and very special optics. Understandably, they often take 3-4 weeks to
have made.”
The
telescopes can be placed in either the lower reading position, straight ahead
position or in the upper bioptic position.
With advancement in optics and high-tech lens designs, there is hope for
restoring useful vision for people willing to learn new ways of seeing.

videos, additional information and a free copy of his e-book are available on

I have struggled for years with bad vision. I have contacts and glasses, but they have to be frequently changed out because my eyes get worse. I am considering just getting lasik eye surgery because then my eyes wouldn't be able to get any worse.

This tiny piece of information is really helpful to avoid any consequences in eye problems. It is always advisable to be more precise with eyes. I insist to take full of fruits and vegetables or even Manhattan eye doctors in diet as it is good for eyes.
ReplyDeleteIs this newer device implanted in the eye? How extensive would the surgery be? I am eager to go over the studies behind it. This could be a very big step in lenses.

I think it would be really cool to have glasses like these. My grandparents suffer from this problem and I think it might be genetic. I want to make sure I can cope with it if I develop it. Maybe I'll get some glasses now. http://libertyvillevision.com/services.html

Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Lung Cancer,Breast Cancer,psoriasis,Colo-Rectal Cancer,Blood Cancer,Prostate Cancer,siva.Fatal Familial Insomnia Factor V Leiden Mutation ,Epilepsy Dupuytren's disease,Desmoplastic small-round-cell tumor Diabetes ,Coeliac disease,Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease,Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Ataxia,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
