When a Low Vision Patient is Told Nothing More Can Be Done
- Have you been told nothing more can be done for your vision?
- Are you struggling to read, see faces across the room or view television?
- Do you feel you are losing your independence by not being able to drive?
- Are you unable to do hobbies like playing cards or use the computer?
- Do you have new glasses that are not much better than you old ones?
Hi, I’m Dr. Harold Ashcraft, a low vision optometrist.
With new technology and special vision aids, I help people like you read again, see faces and television, engage in your hobbies again, and in many cases, drive.
It hasn’t always been that way.
Years ago, my own grandmother was struggling with macular degeneration and she came to me for help. She wanted to read, play the organ, and see the faces of her many grandchildren.
I was able to help her read better. But at that time, like most other optometrists, I did not know about all of the possible low vision aids and devices that could help her. I did not have samples to show her.
So, I told my grandmother what you may have been told, that nothing more could be done. I told her I couldn’t help her do the things she wanted to do, like play the organ or see faces.
I didn’t know it then, but I was wrong. Many possibilities existed for her.
If my grandmother were alive today, I would tell her that I could help her. I would show her how she could continue to do the things she loved to do.
If poor vision is holding you back from doing the things you want to do, give me a call at 888-648-9525 to set up a free consultation.
