Wow! It was gratifying to be able to get Margaret (age 83) to be able to get her to see to thread a needle. Here is the type of spectacle mounted telescopes she needs to use to be able to remain a seamstress both vocationally and avocationally.

I had an amazing experience with a low vision patient the other day. He is partially sighted to the point that he has not even been able to see faces for the past several years. When I demonstrated a telescope and he could see his family's faces he was stunned! He was overjoyed!' He is in his early forties as was not looking forward to a sightless life.

What differentiates a low vision doctor form a general optometrist is his expertise in using various forms of magnification to overcome the devastation of eye diseases such as macular degeneration. A low vision exam goes beyond sight and concentrates on improving the lifestyle of patients by returning them to reading, TV watching, seeing faces and even driving.

The low vision exam lasts about an hour. This length of time allows patient and doctor explore as many magnification options as possible in order to reach all of the patient's goals.

What makes my low vision exam more unique is my emphasis on "hands-free" devices. That is, instead of hand-held devices I prescribe telescopes mounted in eyeglasses.
