This age-related condition affects the center of the retina (the macula), leading to a gradual loss of central vision. Tasks like reading, driving, or recognizing faces become difficult, but with low vision support, many daily activities can be adapted.
-
Caused by damage to the retinal blood vessels from diabetes, this condition leads to blurry, patchy, or fluctuating vision. It is one of the most common causes of vision loss in adults, but early detection and low vision care can slow progression.
-
A genetic condition that begins in childhood or adolescence, leading to central vision loss. While there’s no cure, early intervention can provide children with the tools they need to thrive at school and in life
-
In people with albinism, the retina doesn’t develop normally, resulting in reduced central vision and high sensitivity to light. Tinted lenses and visual aids can help improve comfort and function.
-
This inherited condition is similar to age-related macular degeneration but appears in younger individuals. It causes progressive central vision loss, but magnifiers and adaptive technology can help patients stay active.
-
A breakdown of the optic nerve reduces clarity and sharpness of vision. Although vision cannot be restored, low vision strategies can help patients continue to function effectively.
-
Extreme nearsightedness that leads to stretching and thinning of the retina, potentially causing long-term vision loss. Specialized monitoring and low vision tools can support patients as their condition progresses.
-
A genetic condition causing the retina to deteriorate over time, starting with night blindness and progressing to tunnel vision. Visual field training and orientation tools can be life-changing for those affected.
-
When vision deteriorates significantly, the brain may produce visual hallucinations to compensate. This is not a mental health issue—it’s a known response to vision loss and can be managed with education and reassurance.
-
Often called the "silent thief of sight," glaucoma damages the optic nerve and causes peripheral vision loss. With early treatment and visual support, many patients maintain good functional vision.
-
A stroke or brain injury can lead to loss of half the visual field. With vision training and low vision tools, patients can relearn how to navigate the world effectively.
-
This small break in the macula affects central vision, making it hard to read or see fine detail. Surgical options may be available, and we also provide tools to help patients adapt.
-
A genetic condition causing central vision decline, typically diagnosed in childhood or early adulthood. With low vision intervention, most patients can remain independent and active.
-
While cataracts are typically treatable, advanced or untreated cataracts can lead to low vision. We help patients who either cannot undergo surgery or still experience visual impairment afterward.
-
This rare condition reduces color vision and causes extreme light sensitivity. We help patients manage symptoms with light-filtering lenses and assistive devices.
-
An infection-related retinal condition that leads to central vision loss. Ongoing care and low vision strategies can help patients preserve daily function.
-
Involuntary eye movements make it hard to focus and maintain steady vision. With training and specific tools, patients can improve clarity and comfort.
-
A progressive condition affecting the cornea, often leading to blurry or hazy vision. Early support and visual enhancement tools help maintain independence.
-
This rare genetic disease causes gradual vision loss, starting in the periphery and eventually impacting central vision. Our team provides the tools and training to help patients remain mobile and independent.
-
Don't let low vision stop you from using your computer. Here we show you how you can get back to browsing and writing, just as you did before vision loss.
-
Vision loss due to retinitis pigmentosa (RP) can make it difficult to read text, especially fine print. Low vision aids and glasses can help restore independence and enable patients to read with greater ease.
-
More than 1 billion people live with some type of vision loss around the world. While some are totally blind, the vast majority have some usable vision. Read on to learn about the different types of vision loss and discover how a low vision eye care professional can help.
-
Are you experiencing vision loss? In this article, we explain how to know when it’s time to see a low vision low doctor.
-
One doctor to treat the medical condition by preventing AMD from worsening, and a low vision doctor to maximize the patient’s remaining vision.
-
Low vision is permanent vision loss that cannot be corrected with eyeglasses, contact lenses, or other standard treatments like medication or surgery. Your low vision eye doctor will conduct a low vision exam to assess your usable vision and prescribe low vision aids to maximize your vision and improve your quality of life.
