Low Vision
Diagnosis and Treatment

Low vision means having impaired vision that can’t be corrected with traditional glasses, contact lenses, medications, or surgery. It can make it difficult to do everyday tasks like reading, driving, cooking, or any activities that require good vision. Low vision is typically caused by age-related eye diseases like age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and cataracts. At Konocti View Optometry, our skilled eye doctor can diagnose your condition during a comprehensive eye exam and suggest treatments to maximize your vision as much as possible. 

Low vision treatment in Lakeport, CA

Living with low vision can be challenging, but it doesn’t have to mean giving up the things you love. While low vision is usually permanent, treatment can help you manage the condition and improve your quality of life. Our eye doctor can assess your condition, determine the severity and type of low vision you have, and recommend appropriate treatments and visual aids.

We may recommend using magnifying devices such as handheld magnifiers, stand magnifiers, or electronic magnifiers to help enhance your remaining vision. Making sure your home is well-lit and wearing anti-glare eyewear may also help. Additionally, glasses and contact lenses can’t cure low vision, but they can sometimes help improve vision. Low vision can also cause light sensitivity, or photophobia, and we offer tinted glasses to help manage light sensitivity, enhance remaining vision, and reduce glare.
