Services Offered

• Low Vision Services
• We provide low vision evaluations assessing functional vision in order to determine a rehabilitation treatment plan that will help you learn how to use your remaining vision despite any changes in vision. Vision rehabilitation optimizes your remaining vision with custom designed optical systems, adaptive/assistive technologies, training essential visual skills, and learning modifications in performing everyday activities. People will learn strategies that compensate for vision loss so they can remain safe, healthy, active, and independent. Our interprofessional team approach with occupational therapists, orientation & mobility instructors, physical therapists, vocational rehabilitation, licensed clinical social workers or marriage/family therapists, primary care physicians, and specialty medical doctors allows for improved functional and health outcomes.
