Macular Degeneration? Here’s Why You Need Two Eye Doctors.

Most people with macular degeneration have been told by their eye doctor that nothing can be done for them.  It is true that there is no cure for macular degeneration.  It can’t be fixed or made better.  The goal of treatment is to reduce further vision loss.

Vision rehabilitation is now the standard of care for patients who are losing their vision.  That’s why you need two eye doctors, a retinologist working to stabilize your vision and prevent further loss and a low vision optometrist to maximize your remaining vision.

I’m Dr. Dave Armstrong, a Virginia Low Vision Optometrist.  I evaluate the vision of people with Macular degeneration  and I prescribe special low vision glasses and other devices which help maximize their vision.  Most are able to go back to reading.  Many meet the DMV vision requirements and are able to continue driving while wearing bioptic telescopic glasses.  They are able to continue enjoying activities that are important to them.  They maintain their independence.

I’ve been helping people with macular degeneration and other vision problems for many years and I’d like to help you.  It all begins with a complimentary telephone consultation.  By asking you a few questions about your vision and your goals I’ll be able to tell you if I can help you.  Call me at 866 321-2030.  Congratulations on taking this important first step to a better life.
