If Your Vision is Impaired, You May Suffer from Low Vision

Low vision is a condition in which certain individuals suffer from less than normal vision, which is essentially non-correctable. This means that even with such aids as glasses and contact lenses, vision often cannot be improved. The degrees of low vision vary widely, from mild impairment to legal blindness.

During a low vision assessment, our skilled optometrists perform various tests such as color vision, contrast sensitivity, and visual field assessments. The level of visual impairment is determined by measuring the patient’s visual acuity using special low vision test charts.
