Evanston Low Vision Doctor
If you are having a difficult time with simple things such as, reading, seeing pictures clearly, or recognizing faces you are most likely suffering from a condition known as Low Vision. Due to damage of your sight, Low Vision is a condition that prevents a person from accomplishing easy daily tasks that most people take for granted. Our patients with Low Vision are not able to have their sight corrected with regular glasses, contact lenses, surgery, or medicine, and need special devices to help them see more clearly. There are no ‘fix-all’ devices but there are many popular Low Vision Devices that can truly help. Desktop devices have big, bright screens that offer up to 75x magnification. There is a great reading table that serves as a visual aid for reading books that also has optional computer connectivity. There are also some well-designed magnification screens and electronic magnifiers that not only work well for close up and distance viewing but are portable. Our
Evanston Eye Doctor keeps current on the latest developments in Low Vision Devices and is well educated in more of the newest portable magnifiers.
Dr. Mosqueda will take the time to ask questions to be well aware of your unique set of circumstances and goals. We realize that as we get older most of us experience a normal loss of vision but, according to research, the number of people who develop vision problems due to health problems is expected to continue rising. Our
Evanston Eye Doctor stays well educated on these causes of Low Vision, some being birth defect, macular degeneration, cataracts, glaucoma, eye injury and diabetes. Whatever the cause, Low Vision is treatable, so please don’t hesitate to make your appointment with our Evanston Eye Doctor so we can make sure you see as clearly as possible for years to come.
