Low vision is a visual impairment that can't be corrected with standard glasses, contacts, or surgery, making daily tasks challenging. We understand that losing vision can be a frightening experience.
There is hope. Our goal is to maximize your remaining vision. We provide specialized care, tools, and strategies to help you regain independence and live a full, active life.
What Causes Low Vision?
Low vision is often caused by eye diseases or health conditions, including:
