Why Refer
- Vision loss is an extremely frustrating problem and patients may feel that they have lost the ability to do the things they enjoy.
- Patients can regain various levels of independence through the use of specialized devices and instruction on how to properly use them. Patients also will be trained how to modify appliances, lighting, and more in their home to facilitate a better quality of life.
- Glasses may not be enough to maximize the remaining vision.
- Medicare and other third party insurances pay for a portion of these services. We never turn anyone away based on ability to pay.
- All patients will be sent back to you for any and all medical eye care treatment and follow-up.
