How a Low Vision Evaluation Can Help You See More Clearly and Live More Fully

Have you ever struggled to read a book, recognize a friend’s face across the room, or see clearly while cooking — even with glasses, contacts, or surgery? You’re not alone. For many people, these challenges may be caused by low vision, a condition that affects millions of Americans and can impact people of all ages.

At Clarendon Vision Advanced EyeCare our Low Vision evaluations focus on helping you make the most of your remaining vision so you can continue doing the things you love with confidence and independence.
 

What Makes a Low Vision Evaluation Different?  

Unlike a standard eye exam, a Low Vision evaluation is customized to your daily life. We don’t just measure your eyesight; we look at how your vision affects the activities that matter most to you.

During your evaluation, our specialists may explore:

• How your vision affects your daily life

• What tools or devices can make your vision sharper and more comfortable

• Strategies to help you maximize your remaining sight

Could This Be for You?  

Low vision can sneak up slowly, making everyday life more challenging without you realizing it. You might benefit from an evaluation if you notice:

• Reading or seeing small details is harder than before

• You struggle to recognize faces

• Bright lights or glare make it uncomfortable to see

• Colors and contrast seem faded or dull

• Daily tasks like cooking, driving, or hobbies feel more difficult

Even if you’ve had glasses, contacts, or surgery, these signs can indicate that additional support could make a real difference.
 

Common Causes of Low Vision  

Low vision can be linked to a variety of eye conditions, including:

• Age-related macular degeneration (AMD)

• Glaucoma

• Diabetic retinopathy

• Retinitis pigmentosa

• Albinism

• Achromatopsia

• Retinopathy of prematurity

Knowing the cause helps our specialists create a personalized plan tailored to your unique vision needs.

How We Help Patients Live Fully  

After your evaluation, we may recommend:

• Adaptive devices like magnifiers, telescopic lenses, or digital tools

• Lighting and contrast solutions to make daily tasks easier

• Practical strategies and training to make the most of your remaining sight

Our goal is simple: help you maintain independence and continue enjoying the activities you love.

Take the Next Step  

Low vision doesn’t mean you have to give up on the things that matter. If you or a loved one is noticing changes in vision that glasses, contacts, or surgery can’t fix, a Low Vision evaluation could open new possibilities.

At Clarendon Vision Advanced EyeCare, we provide one-on-one care, personalized solutions, and the support you need to live confidently.
