Helping low vision patients can be challenging but it is also very rewarding. Each person comes with different expectations and hopes. There are activities that are particularly important to them that they'd like help with. Each of them has a different level of remaining vision. In some the two eyes are similarly effected by their problem. In many there is a difference between the eyes. Sometimes the difference is profound. Each patient is different. My challenge, and the reason that I enjoy this work, is to solve the puzzle of what is the best way to help this patient achieve their goal. Any doctor who is serious about helping patients who have lost vision will have many different types of glasses and other devices available for testing and prescription. Each type of glasses can be modified to focus the distance of the task. Sometimes a tint in the lenses can make a big difference. Each patients presents their own challenges and opportunities. Solving the mystery of how to help that particular patient is a challenge that I truly love. I am blessed to be a part of helping people improve their lives. #lowvision
