What Is Low Vision Awareness Month?
Low Vision Awareness Month is recognized every February as an opportunity to educate, empower, and support individuals living with vision loss. It is a time to spread the message that help is available — even when standard glasses, contacts, or surgery no longer improve sight. Low Vision glasses and devices may help you regain the abilities you have lost.
Low Vision Care Offers Hope and Independence
At our low vision clinic, we understand how difficult it can be to lose your ability to read, recognize faces, enjoy hobbies, or drive. Our low vision optometrist works closely with patients to identify customized solutions that help them regain control of their lives and make the most of their remaining vision.
Using advanced low vision devices and personalized care strategies, we help patients build confidence and independence. Whether someone is living with macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, or another vision condition, there is often a path forward.
Who Benefits from Low Vision Services?
Low vision care is designed for individuals whose vision loss affects their ability to carry out daily activities — even with the best pair of glasses or after medical treatment. People of all ages can benefit, especially those told that “nothing more can be done.”
If you or a loved one is struggling to read the mail, recognize faces, watch television, or navigate safely, low vision care can offer real solutions that improve everyday function.
