Low Vision Services in Southampton, NY

Low vision is a visual impairment that is not corrected through glasses, contact lenses or surgery. The condition often causes a reduction in visual acuity in central or peripheral vision. Low vision is caused by eye diseases such as Macular Degeneration, Retinitis Pigmentosa, Diabetic Retinopathy, and Cataracts, with the patient’s vision being worse than 20/70.

Unfortunately, traditional eye correction techniques like standard eyeglasses, prescriptions, contact lenses, or surgery cannot correct the patient’s vision. However, with the right low vision devices and telescopic glasses, you can once again read, drive, and enjoy your regained independence.
