"I Can Read For Hours"

Joseph's vision with his glasses was 20/60 on the day of his low vision evaluation. He was not doing badly for distance vision. It was the reading that bothered him. The thorough low vision evaluation revealed that his near vision could be improved nicely with telemicroscopic glasses. The ones that I prescribed magnified almost 2 times and focused at 10 inches from his face. He could easily read the Times.
Today, Joseph called to tell me how well he is doing and how much he likes the glasses. "I can read for hours with them" he told me. "I love them."

One other thing that has helped Joseph's reading is that he has good light. He took my advice and bought an Ott Lite. The Ott Lite gives him plenty of soft, no glare, daylight right on his paper. I recommend an Ott Lite for anyone who has vision loss. They really help.
I am pleased that Joseph has been able to get back to reading the Times. It is very satisfying to be able to help people return to activities that they enjoy but had been unable to do.

"I Can Read For Hours"

I had a call today from a low vision patient, Joseph. He has lost vision from glaucoma and was referred to me by his ophthalmologist. What Joseph really wanted to do was read the New York Times. He hoped that I could help him with that.
