Low vision can hamper even the most basic of daily activities — reading the newspaper, playing the piano, writing a check, preparing meals, or even knitting a sweater.
The clinic helps people of any age who are visually impaired and have only partial sight due to cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, detached retina, optic atrophy, trauma etc
Our goal is to help individuals with decreased vision make the most of their remaining vision enabling them to be independent and to enjoy life to the fullest.
