According to enhancedvision.com, 1 in 28 people will feel effects of low vision by 2020. How does this condition occur? While the natural ageing process is a major contributor, age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma and cataracts play a major part in causing low vision as well.
Difficulty with low vision problems can affect all ages, but is mostly associated with older adults. Symptoms can include tunnel vision and blind spots.
Although this condition may not be corrected with prescription glasses, distance vision can be enhanced. Come visit Dr. Tavel’s board certified optometrists to test for symptoms of this condition and create a treatment plan for your eyes.
