"Excited to get Started"

Last week I dispensed a pair of bioptic telescopic glasses to Wallace Lawson, a Virginia gentleman who has lost his driver's permit because he can no longer meet the vision requirements.  His ophthalmologist had checked his vision through a telescope and referred him to me.  Thorough testing with low vision devices demonstrated that he would meet the requirements to drive with bioptics.  Here is a note that he sent me soon after getting the bioptics:

"Excited to get started learning to wear my BTL glasses (bioptics).  I hope to regain a part of my life back to drive again.  After driving for 53 years and having that taken away because of low vision, was a real shocker.  But thanks to Dr. Armstrong, I feel that I am on my back to gaining my independence back.  Thanks"

Many people lose their independence because they are no longer able to drive.  I am happy to be able to help nice folks like Wallace stay on the road and maintain their  independence.  He also owes a big thank you to his ophthalmologist who recognized the problem and cared enough to refer him for help.
