Low Vision Clinic

Low Vision Clinic

Unfortunately for some patients, spectacles do not improve vision sufficiently for everyday tasks. In these instances, low vision aids are used to maximise the patients’ remaining vision, and very often advice on the correct use of lighting makes a significant difference.

What is the Opticare low vision clinic?

The low vision clinic runs separately from the routine eye examination. Initial appointments take approximately half an hour, and follow-up appointments are much quicker. The low vision clinic deals with the use of magnifying aids and telescopes to maximise reduced vision, as well as general practical aids and advice to enhance everyday life. Opticare prides itself on the service offered to the often vulnerable visually impaired patient.
