What Does "Low Vision" Mean?

Low vision refers to vision loss that can’t be corrected with standard glasses, contact lenses or surgery. However, it isn't considered blindness as limited eyesight remains. Symptoms typically include blind spots, poor night vision and blurred vision. Low vision is commonly caused by age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma and diabetes.

Fortunately, people with low vision can continue living full and meaningful lives with the help of low vision aids and devices.

My 3 year old had a vision screening done at her preschool. I set up appointment immediately with pr... eferred eye care. They are the only office in New Castle that will take her age group. My daughter is very shy. The reception/front office staff were very sweet and helpful. The lady that called us back ( like a tech maybe? Sorry idk her job title) was very patient while trying to get my daughters pictures. My daughter was so quiet the entire time and this woman was so kind and patient with her when trying to get any type of response with the letters and pictures. The doctor was great! She made my daughter feel comfortable. She talked directly to her and explained to her everything that she was doing. My daughter does have to have glasses and the woman that helped us pick out the pair my baby wanted was very helpful and patient as well. Would absolutely recommend this place if your toddler or child needs glasses!
