Low Vision
Helping You Make the Most of the Vision You Have
Low vision isn’t complete blindness, it’s vision loss that can’t be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or surgery. Whether caused by macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, or other conditions, low vision can make everyday tasks feel frustrating or even impossible.
