Laurel Low Vision Specialists

Over four million American have low vision with a majority of them being over the age of sixty-five. Low vision is characterized as impaired vision that cannot be fully restored by conventional glasses, contact lenses, medical intervention or eye surgery. However, low vision doesn't mean total loss of vision or complete blindness. In fact, many people with low vision may still have some potentially useful vision and in order to capitalize on that vision, you should visit a Laurel low vision specialist like the optometrists at Fulton Eye Care.

Adjustment to any kind of vision loss can be very difficult, but with acceptance, determination and the support of loved ones, it is possible. By learning new techniques taught by Laurel Maryland optometrist Drs. Ely and Cohen, you can fully utilize any remaining vision using common low vision aids and devices. The goal of the low vision services offered at Fulton Eye Care is to enable low vision patients to improve their ability to use their remaining vision in order to maintain independence and a general standard of living. There are many different devices available to assist people with low vision, including magnifiers, telescopes, microscopes, custom light, and special magnifying televisions. Many patients of Drs. Ely and Cohen are prescribed a combination of these devices.
