“The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. Don’t wait for good things to happen to you. If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the world with hope, you will fill yourself with hope.”
-- Barack Obama
Click here to find out why we are offering products for "Low Vision"
Several weeks ago, we were presented with a situation, where we simply could not help a patient who had come into the store. It wasn't a matter of fixing his glasses or updating his prescription. His vision problem was beyond that. So we began a process of trying to find out how we could assist him and patients like him gain back some independence and make it possible to do the things that most of us take for granted.
Unfortunately, the resources for people who have reached this level of visual impairment are few and far between. Not many optometrists or ophthalmologists specialize in low vision and although products are available, most patients are not taught how to use the items they have purchased.
We have decided to team up with Eschenbach because of their reputation in the industry and their commitment to their customers. They stand behind their products and their warranties are best in the business.
