What Can I Do About Low Vision?

If you think you have low vision, it’s vital to have your eyes examined. Once we diagnose the cause of your low vision, we’ll be able to explore your options.

We normally test for low vision by observing you while you perform some key visual tasks. We might have you read letters off a chart or see if you notice objects at the sides of your field of vision. Then we typically dilate your eyes and look for signs of the eye problem that caused your low vision in the first place.

Some problems that cause low vision can be treated, but often the best course of action is to preserve the vision you still have. We’ll recommend appropriate strategies based on what we find when we examine your eyes.

You may also benefit from using low vision aids to support you during specific visual tasks. These devices often involve strong magnifying lenses, and may come in the form of handheld lenses, specialty eyewear, loupes, or small telescopes.
