Request AppointmentWhat Causes Low Vision?
Approximately 1.5 million Canadians are dealing with vision loss. Low vision can arise from various eye diseases like age-related macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease, cataracts, and glaucoma.
A person with low vision may experience difficulty with everyday tasks such as reading, driving, watching television or recognizing faces. Regular eye exams every 1–2 years are crucial for early detection and preserving vision.
How We Can Help
Even if your vision loss cannot be completely reversed, there’s a lot we can do to help. Our low-vision specialists are compassionate and understanding professionals who empower you to live a fulfilling life.
They will work with you to develop a personalized plan that addresses your needs and helps you maximize your remaining vision.
We offer low-vision rehabilitation services and assistive devices to empower you.
Comprehensive Low Vision Exams
Our eye examinations aim to go beyond standard eye tests. We assess your level of vision loss, pinpoint areas of difficulty, and evaluate your potential for improvement with low vision aids. Evaluations may involve tests to measure contrast sensitivity, visual field, and near-vision function.
Vision Rehabilitation Therapy
Vision therapy exercises can help strengthen your remaining vision and improve visual processing skills, allowing you to maximize your sight. For instance, vision therapy can improve scanning skills for reading or eye-hand coordination for tasks like self-care or preparing meals.
Training & Support
We provide comprehensive training on using your low vision aids and offer ongoing support to help you feel confident and comfortable using them daily. Our team will answer your questions, address any challenges, and help you integrate your low-vision devices seamlessly into your daily routine.
Living a Fulfilling Life with Low Vision
At Waverley Eye Centre, we believe that vision loss shouldn’t hold you back. With the proper support and resources, you can continue to enjoy activities you love and live a fulfilling life.
