Causes That Lead to Low Vision

Low vision is an eye condition that cannot be corrected with conventional eyeglasses or contact lenses. Its causes are usually due to injury, disease, or genetics and include:

Macular Degeneration: Wet or Dry
Juvenile Macular Degeneration (i.e., Stargardt’s disease, Best disease, etc.)
Diabetic Retinopathy – a complication of diabetes affecting eyesight
Retinitis Pigmentosa – leads to contraction of the visual field

Glaucoma – damage to the optical nerve due to inner eye pressure
Cataracts – a clouding of the eye lens
Hemianopsia – the loss of part of the visual field
Albinism – the lack of pigments in the back of the eye
Other Vision-Limiting Conditions

Lisa and Andrew Reformed

My son A.S. had three extremely traumatic events happen to him starting in August. These episodes caused Severe PTSD. I tried EVERYTHING. I tried hiring an Autism specialist, and I tried taking my son to several doctors. I even tried OT therapy. Nothing was working! My son was terrified to stay home by himself. He dropped out of college because he was having anxiety attacks daily! Dr. Chula told me to try Multisensory Integration Therapy (Sensory Chair). I had tried everything and thought, what do I have to lose now? We have been going like this for 3 months. I couldn't even take showers with the door shut because my son was terrified something was going to happen to him while I had the door shut. Our whole lives were flipped upside down.

A.S. started the Sensory Chair. At first, I saw no change. Chula kept cheering us on, and I was losing hope at first. But I kept taking A.S. to therapy. Then she sent us home with a series of penlights. I noticed on day 3 that my son was talking more. For 3 months, I could barely get any communication from him. I didn't know if he would have to be hospitalized or what I should do. I am a single mom, and I do this alone.

On day 4, I started noticing that Andrew wanted to go out and do everyday things. A.S. used to LOVE going bowling and doing fun things. But he was terrified of leaving the house because he didn't know if something would happen. Now, he wanted to go out and do things. My family didn't believe me at first with this Sensory Chair Therapy. They looked at me like I was crazy! But on Thanksgiving day, they were seeing old A.S. back! They said, "Oh my goodness, Lisa, the therapy does work!"

I had been unable to go to the grocery store and considered hiring an in-home service. But Chula therapy saved our lives! He stayed home for 4 days alone and was back to the son I remember. I tried everything else, and I almost didn't try this therapy! I am so glad I did! My son is talking again; he is VERY calm. He is going out places, and now we will head back to college. We will go slowly, but this wasn't an option a month ago. Now, our lives are getting back to normal! My son is so brilliant in math, and he could have missed out on a beautiful future by leaving college, But NOW he is back! Stronger than EVER! My son is staying home and being independent again! He is no longer afraid!

Thank you so much, Dr. Chula, for changing our lives and giving me back my son!

Love This Office and Staff!

My husband has been a client for 18 years and I recently had my first appointment.

I can tell why he has been going there so long. The staff is very friendly and was extremely helpful in helping narrow down the many choices for new glasses. My Dr. took the time to explain and answer the many questions that I had... Love this Office and staff!

A Low Vision Optometrist's Tool Box

Genuine care and hands-on advice are our primary ingredients to ensuring complete low vision services. Talk to your low vision expert in Oswego about your concerns, and we will help optimize your surroundings to accommodate your visual needs better. As an example, improved lighting makes a significant difference for many eye conditions.

Low Vision Glasses

The advantage of glasses is that they allow you to be mobile and use your hands freely. Many patients have kept their driver's license and independence thanks to bioptic telescope glasses, E-Scoop glasses, or side-vision awareness glasses. Theater lovers can benefit from full-diameter telescope glasses to enjoy performances. Prismatic glasses are primarily used for reading.

These are only a few of the many low vision glasses available for low vision patients. Ronald Weingart, OD will help you to find the best solution for you.

Low Vision Aids and Devices

Magnification is key for optimizing vision. Closed-circuit television (CCTV), video magnifiers are available as hand-held devices or as a stand-mounted version. You can install special software to enhance contrast and colors on your computer screen. Other software can increase the font size to whatever is comfortable for you.

Advanced equipment utilizes virtual reality, image processing algorithms, or audio feedback to assist with almost any task you want to accomplish. Go for it!
