+ Larger Type + Smaller Type The Low Vision Works program is a low vision rehabilitation process that restores vision and functionality to individuals suffering from low vision disabilities.
This program is highly effective in cases of age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and certain types of stroke-related vision disorders. The Low Vision Works program was introduced to South Florida in the fall of 2001, and the results have been outstanding:
- Average increase in visual acuity is between 40 and 70%
- Reading speed and accuracy often doubles or even triples
- Ability to read print size doubles or triples
- Patients are able to:
- Read and watch TV
- Prepare meals and groom
- Use their computer
- Shop
- Read a restaurant menu
- See the faces of loved ones
Low Vision Works' unique testing and retraining regimen, in conjunction with a thorough home adaptation evaluation and redesign, is closing the gap that surgeons, ophthalmologists, optometrists and other eye care professionals cannot address. The Low Vision Works program works!
