Low Vision Services at TotalVision

 

Do you, or does someone close to you, suffer from vision loss that cannot be improved with glasses or contact lenses?  Many conditions, such as macular degeneration, advanced glaucoma, hereditary retinal disease, and stroke can result in vision loss.  This vision loss may be limited to the center vision, such as that experienced with some forms of macular degeneration; or, it may affect the peripheral vision more significantly, as in glaucoma.

At TotalVision, we offer low vision services, providing patients with devices like magnifiers, telescopes, and specially tinted lenses.  We can also provide and recommend audio devices, so patients are able to rely more on alternative senses like hearing, when the visual system is less robust.  Dr. Regina Strand, co-owner of TotalVision, is among the minority of optometrists who specialize in low vision services.  Call one of our offices today to find out more, or to schedule an appointment!
