WHAT OPTIONS ARE OFFERED FOR LOW VISION?

At South Orange County optometry, our low vision services include a broad spectrum of solutions for our patients. When it comes to low vision, we understand the importance of attending to the personal needs of every patient. As such we take time to first understand the low vision condition of every patient before making any decisions. In this case, a comprehensive eye exam is performed.

A solution is reached using the results attained from the eye exam and the specific needs of the patient. Some of the solutions we offer for low vision include:

Low Vision Evaluation

It is the first step we take to establish which is the best low vision device for a patient. Our Southern Orange County optometrists will conduct a full evaluation of your eyesight using a broad variety of low vision aids. From this low vision screening, we are able to match a patient’s condition and lifestyle to the best available tool. We value the time and money our patients put into our low vision services, therefore, we can assure you that we will provide you with the best eye care possible.

Low Vision Rehabilitation

Are you a patient whose doctors stated that you have permanent vision loss and no hope for correction? Well, there is hope. In South Orange County, our optometrists are determined to bring independent life back to our patients after they have had vision loss. While we may not be able to completely correct your vision loss, we will work hard towards improving it.

 

Prismatic Eyeglasses

Are built-in prisms that enable both eyes to team up and work together. They can be designed with single or double lens depending on the condition of the patient.

Telescopic Eyeglasses

It’s an all-in-one design where miniature binoculars are inserted into eyeglasses. It’s a combination of precise vision prescription and good optics to provide visual clarity. They can be in the form of binocular or monocular placed in different positions to enhance effectiveness.

Microscopic eyeglasses

Are double lens glasses with appropriate magnification designed for monocular vision (of one eye) as they depend on close working distance.

 

Side Vision Awareness Glasses

Designed for patients with vision loss at the side portions of the visual field.

DRIVING WITH LOW VISION

This is on the condition that the patients undergo a thorough, comprehensive exam that will determine if their vision is fit for driving as per the requirements of the state. The state allows the use of bioptic telescopes to drive with the provision of a daytime restricted license.
