Refractive error correction
Accurate measurement and correction of refractive errors through prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses optimizes visual acuity. Regular updates to prescriptions ensure continued optimal correction as eyes change.
Additional treatment options
Low vision rehabilitation
Comprehensive low vision evaluation identifies remaining visual function and prescribes appropriate low vision aids such as magnifiers, specialized lighting, and adaptive technologies to maximize functional vision.
procedureOphthalmologic monitoring program
Regular comprehensive eye examinations monitor for progression, detect secondary conditions, and adjust management strategies. Frequency depends on underlying etiology and stability of vision.
