Low Vision Services

Low vision means that even with regular eyeglasses, contact lenses, medication or surgery a person finds everyday tasks difficult. Reading the mail, shopping, cooking watching television and writing can seem challenging. Low vision affects people of all ages, in the home, on the job and at school. Family members or friends have a hard time understanding what someone with low vision can see. For example a person with Macular Degeneration has a loss of central vision and cannot see things straight ahead. Someone with Glaucoma has a peripheral field loss, which affects a person’s side vision.

If you or someone you know experience any of the above mentioned difficulties, call Miami Lighthouse for a preliminary functional assessment and a low vision evaluation. Often, there are ways to improve your quality of life through the correct magnifier, vision training, or rehabilitation. When you learn how to use the correct low vision devices, or how to cope with glare, you can reclaim your independence and bring your world back into focus.

Call 786.362.7479 to schedule your appointment. Dr. Rosemary Gonzalez is one of five low vision specialists in the South Florida, who can perform a low vision evaluation geared to meeting your individual needs.
