We received a beautiful review from Patti, the mother of one of our patients. We are grateful to make this difference for people. Here is the link to our Better Business Bureau profile- https://zurl.co/6yhSd

"We found out about Dr. Palmer from my eye Doctor. He is amazing! At my Daughters in Person consult he made a huge difference with just the lenses he was using. She saw all the cars in the parking lot, the green trees, then we went back to the exam room and my Daughter could see me in the far corner of the room. She even told Dr. Palmer what I looked like. He gave us a prescription for regular glasses and the telescopic glasses wouldn’t be done for 6 weeks. Then we went to Pearl vision and ordered her glasses. We were told that this prescription would take 2 1/2 weeks to do because it was so strong. Then when we came back to get them, right after she put them on she saw a biker out the window! Then she saw a mirror and could see her face, then she saw her hands, this was coming from a girl that could only see from her nose! This was indeed a miracle from Dr. Palmer and God. On the way home she could see the lines in the street, the cars, the colors, signs from businesses. This was unbelievable to witness her sight go from pin hole vision of very little sight to all of what she was telling me! Her head was bobbing all over the place to see everything she could see. When we got home she walked through my entire house as though this was her first visit. Her kids were so excited, and her Husband started asking her do you see this? Do you see that? She answered yes it’s my jewelry box, It’s the new fridge and stove. He was so surprised that she could see that good. Now she is walking independently she brings her white cane, and stays to the right, she loves to go for rides to see everything. She also can see her dog, obi he is a husky, and he has noticed a difference in her because she no longer runs into him, and now she knows when he is standing right in front of her to be petted and talked to. Everything has changed for my Daughter, and her family, enjoying time with her Sister and Brother, their kids, and me. Thank you Dr. Palmer, thank you GOD! This is amazing!"

There truly is — and we’re proud to help make that a reality.

It's Low Vision Rehabilitation week. There are many folks who work in this area besides eye doctors, including caretakers, therapists, state-level agencies, and other organizations. It takes a village, and people get the best care the more we all collaborate.

We are pleased that VisionServe Alliance has declared this week as Low Vision Rehabilitation week! Many people assume that LVR is not available to them or not relevant for them. We want to take this opportunity to let you know that LVR is important at EVERY stage of vision loss. The earlier in your vision loss journey you access these services, the better you will be able to adapt to vision loss and retain independence.

Macular degeneration is the leading cause of vision loss. It’s a progressive eye disease that destroys the central part of the retina and there is no cure. Low Vision Restoration is offering hope to patients in the form of customized corrective eye wear.
