"You've opened my eyes to the world." says an Optic Atrophy patient.

Mack Farmer suffered a vision loss from optic atrophy when he was a child.  Over the years he has been seen in some of the best known eye centers on the east coast.  He retained enough vision that he was able to drive but in late 2012 was unable to pass the DMV's vision requirements.  The Southwest Virginian lost his driver's license.

On the day that Mack picked up the telescopic glasses he told Dr. Armstrong "It's nothing short of a miracle.  I've been dealing with this ( the optic atrophy) for 52 years.  This is the first time in 52 years that I can see things across the street.  Thank you, you've opened my eyes to the world."

I spoke with Mr. Farmer two months after he received the telescopic glasses.  He told me that they were working well for driving.  They especially help when he is pulling out in traffic and watching traffic signals.  "I can see farther." 

Thanks to his new spectacle miniature telescopic glasses Mr. Farmer is qualified to drive with a special Virginia license requiring the use of the telescopic glasses.

Many states offer special driver's licenses to people with reduced vision.  The requirements vary from state to state.  If you are wondering what your state's requirements are call Dr. Armstrong.  I will be happy to speak with you and can give you the vision requirements for your state.  Call 866 321-2030
