Low-vision Aids Leesburg, Eustis, Clermont

If you are living with low vision, it is likely that your condition cannot be treated through conventional vision aids. Fortunately, certain tools can help where surgery, medication, and prescription lenses cannot. Ideal candidates come to value low-vision aids as they learn to manage the sight they have left.

Leesburg, Eustis, and Clermont residents have access to the most advanced low-vision products on the market, as well as practical advice that will help them to utilize their remaining sight. Our resident low-vision doctor, Sonya M. Braudway, O.D., has the specialized training needed to make the low-vision rehabilitation process a smooth one in Lake County, Florida. We also employ an occupational therapist for low-vision patients.

The Low-vision Aids Examination

Patients suffering from low vision will first undergo an extensive eye exam. Although you may have recently had your eyes checked, Dr. Braudway will be analyzing the scope of your spotty vision, and testing to determine which low-vision aids are best for you.

We will also conduct an eye examination to diagnose any pre-existing diseases. After all, low vision is believed to stem from diseases such as macular degeneration, cataracts, glaucoma, and diabetes. If other conditions are present, your doctor will need to recommend or rule out other types of treatment.
