Low Vision Program
The Need for Low Vision Care
Currently over 50 million people in North America have difficulty seeing even with eyeglasses or contacts according to the most recent CDC (Centers for Disease Control & Prevention) National Health Interview Survey, and that number continues to grow.
As an eyecare professional, you likely see a number of these patients, ones whose vision loss is due to macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and other eye diseases, and wish you could help them perform everyday tasks and hobbies more easily. Drugs or surgery are available for a number of these eye diseases, but they are often not enough to allow patients to read the newspaper or pill bottles, watch television or enjoy hobbies like solving crossword puzzles.
With Eschenbach’s Low Vision Program, you can help them accomplish these tasks!
