Low Vision Care Near Santa Ana
Dr. Shuldiner, the Founder of the International Academy of Low Vision Specialists Can Help You or Your Loved One See, Even When You Were Told There Was Nothing That Can Be Done
Low Vision is defined as vision that is not corrected by traditional glasses, contacts, and eye surgery, leaving the person unable to do things they would like to do. For most diseases that cause low vision, there are two primary doctors the patient should see. The first is the Ophthalmologist or Retinologist, that treats the medical condition and prevents further deterioration of remaining vision. The second is a low vision optometrist, that will help you use the remaining functioning vision.
Dr. Shuldiner provides the residents of Santa Ana, and all of Southern California with advanced care for patients with macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, side vision loss from strokes and brain injury, stargardt, retinitis pigmentosa, and many others.
Dr. Shuldiner has dedicated his life to bringing awareness to the fact that patients with low vision can have hope. Driving, writing, reading, watching television, using the computer, playing cards and much much more are now possible thanks to the advances in lens design and optics. Custom low vision telescopes fitted on top of the patient’s eyeglasses allow the patient to perform the tasks that they miss most. If you live in the Santa Ana area and you or a loved one have low vision, we implore you to give us a call for a free ten-minute phone consultation with our low vision optometrist.
