Do
you, or someone you care for suffer from Macular Degeneration,
Diabetic Retinopathy, Glaucoma or other causes of sight loss?
Do you have difficulty reading small print, even with your
reading glasses?
If
you have vision problems, Carteret Vision Center is here to
help!
Anyone
with vision loss can have difficulty functioning in daily
life. The range of problems can involve difficulty in reading,
where a brighter light is necessary, to severe vision loss
requiring assistance in navigating the home environment.
If you've heard terms like "legally blind", "partially
sighted" or "low vision" used to describe your
condition, you will benefit from low vision care.
Low
Vision Care is the process where a trained specialist or eye
doctor works with you to help you continue to utilize and
enjoy your vision, even with partial loss!
Various
professionals exist to help coordinate and provide your low
vision care:
- Ophthalmologists
- Optometrists
- Opticians
- Rehabilitation
teachers and counselors
- Orientation
and Mobility Instructors
- Occupational
Therapists
- And
many others...
Low
Vision Care is a process whereby a Low Vision Specialist works
with you to identify your visual problems and customizes a
plan to overcome them!
Low
Vision Care is not a surgical procedure or medicinal treatment,
but rather a rehabilitative program to teach you new strategies
to maximize your remaining vision.
Your
Low Vision Specialist may recommend optical, electronic or
adaptive devices to help you accomplish your visual goals,
and may recommend other complementary medical or rehabilitation
specialists to complete your care.
Millions
of Americans suffer with low vision, but most get no assistance
with this condition. In fact, many are told that "nothing
more can be done" about the vision loss. Whatever
your needs, Carteret Vision Center is your partner in finding
a solution. Contact us to find out about low vision
conditions, low vision solutions, and low vision care providers. |
