Low Vision
See More. Live Fully.
At Clarendon Vision Advanced EyeCare, our Low Vision evaluation services are designed to help individuals with permanent vision loss maximize their remaining sight and maintain independence in their daily lives. Whether caused by disease, injury, or a lifelong condition, our goal is to help you live life to the fullest with clarity, confidence, and comfort.
What is Low Vision?
Low vision refers to a permanent loss of vision that cannot be fully corrected with standard glasses, contact lenses, or surgery. It can affect people of all ages and may make everyday activities like reading, driving, or recognizing faces more difficult. Depending on the cause and severity, individuals with low vision may experience loss of central or detail vision, reduced peripheral vision, or difficulty seeing in low light or at night. While these changes are permanent, there are many effective ways to adapt, enhance visual performance, and maintain independence with proper tools and guidance.
Low vision can result from a variety of conditions, including:
- Age-related macular degeneration
- Glaucoma
- Diabetic retinopathy
- Retinitis pigmentosa
- Albinism
- Achromatopsia
- Retinopathy of prematurity
Who Can Benefit from Low Vision Services?
Low vision services can help anyone experiencing vision loss that interferes with daily life. If you have difficulty with reading, writing, using a phone or computer, watching television, recognizing faces, driving, or managing work, school, or household tasks, low vision care can make a meaningful difference.
Through personalized evaluations, adaptive tools, and training, a low vision evaluation empowers you to regain independence, improve your ability to read and work, enhance mobility and safety, boost confidence and emotional well-being, and stay connected with family, friends, and your community. With the right guidance and support, you can continue living life fully and comfortably, even with permanent vision loss.
