Living with low vision can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. At OCVT, our specialists provide comprehensive low vision care to help patients maintain independence, improve daily function, and maximize remaining vision.

What Is Low Vision?

Low vision is a visual impairment that cannot be corrected fully with glasses, contact lenses, or surgery. It often results from conditions like macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic eye disease, or neurological injury. People with low vision may struggle with reading, recognizing faces, driving, or navigating their environment safely.
