low vision services

lowvisionLow Vision is a term used to describe significant vision impairment that cannot be corrected with glasses, surgery, or medication. According to the National Eye Institute, an estimated 3.5 to 5 million Americans suffer from low vision.

Beyond the more obvious practical limitations of the disability, low vision also can have major emotional and psychological impact on the sufferer. While the condition, by definition, isn’t reversible, medical care, support, and rehabilitation can help patients make the most of their remaining vision and enable them to attain a higher quality of life.

South Jersey Eye Associates offers both Low Vision Assessments and Rehabilitative Services designed to help our patients recover independence lost due to vision impairment. Dr. Wuzzardo, SJEA’s resident Low Vision expert, has extensive training in the diagnosis and treatment of visual impairment. He is dedicated to providing patients with the expertise, information, and support they need to meet the challenges that Low Vision presents in their day-to-day lives.

We provide:

Low Vision Assessments – comprehensive evaluation and exam to identify the individual limitations, capabilities, and needs of the patient.

Low Vision Rehabilitation & Care – a range of care, training, and therapy services designed to help patients maximize their remaining eyesight and improve their ability to return to regular activities.
