Low Vision Glasses FAQ
Low vision glasses are specialized optical devices designed to assist individuals with impaired vision. These glasses can enhance remaining vision, making everyday tasks like reading, writing, and recognizing faces easier.
Regular prescription glasses are used to correct refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Low vision glasses are tailored for those with significant visual impairment that cannot be corrected with standard glasses. They often incorporate magnification, specialized lenses, or electronic technology.
Anyone with a visual impairment that cannot be corrected through surgery, regular glasses, or contact lenses might benefit from low vision glasses. Common conditions include macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and retinitis pigmentosa.
Magnifying Glasses: Increase the size of objects for easier reading or detail work.
Bioptic Telescopes: Include a small telescope mounted on regular glasses for seeing distant objects.
Electronic Glasses: Use digital magnification to provide adjustable zoom and contrast settings.
