Low Vision | Hazleton Eye Specialists

How Do Hazleton Eye Specialists Detect, Diagnose, & Treat Low Vision?

Low vision is vision loss that can’t be corrected by glasses, contacts, or surgery. If you’re experiencing low vision, even with glasses, you may have difficulty with the following activities:

Using the computer
Watching TV
Writing
Recognizing faces
Shopping
Driving

If low vision is affecting your life, visit us for a comprehensive eye exam. We may suggest vision therapy to help you learn and develop new skills. Electronic devices are also helpful because they often have settings that allow you to navigate their functions with your voice.

Our team is here to support you while you adapt to your vision changes. Book an appointment today.

We’re Here to Help You Navigate Vision Loss

It’s important to acknowledge emotions you may feel when you learn your vision loss is irreversible. You may feel angry or frustrated, so we recommend speaking to someone to help avoid mental health problems like depression.

If you have low vision, we’ll help you adjust through strategies and assistive devices. We may recommend lights and magnifying glasses, to make your life a little easier.

What Supports Are Available to Patients with Low Vision?

If your vision has reached a point where you can no longer use conventional vision correction methods to see clearly, it can be a stressful situation. There may be support groups in your area that can help you stay active and make the most of the vision you have.

Although low vision is permanent and irreversible, it doesn’t mean you have to give up your favorite activities. Instead, you’ll spend time learning new ways to do them. Some strategies to adopt include the following:

Don’t isolate yourself
Keep any activities you previously enjoyed
Keep your job so long as it isn’t dangerous to work
Be patient with yourself as you learn new strategies
