About Low Vision Services PLC
Dedicated to the vision rehabilitation of those who are visually impaired, Low Vision Services PLC is in partnership with the Prevention of Blindness Society (youreyes.org) in DC, the Virginia Lions Eye Institute Foundation (vleif.org) in VA and Colonial Opticians (colonialopticians.com) in MD.
The practice serves patients diagnosed with either a chronic eye disease or a congenital vision condition who are seeking vision rehabilitation beyond the use of conventional glasses and/or contact lenses.
The philosophy of the practice is an interdisciplinary approach to vision rehabilitation working closely with local rehabilitation agencies, social workers, rehabilitation teachers and occupational therapists specialized in vision rehabilitation. Through the Prevention of Blindness Society, the practice participates with support groups for the visually impaired as well as the Low Vision Resource Center in Bethesda (lowvisioninfo.org) where patients can learn about the various strategies and resources for those who are visually impaired.
Appointments are scheduled with Doctors of Optometry specializing in low vision rehabilitation who perform the initial evaluation and make recommendations for the optimum strategies involving magnification as well as various adaptive technologies. Referrals are then made for appropriate training in the use of these strategies as well as for resources in the community for those who blind or visually impaired.
Low vision evaluations are covered by most medical insurance plans but patients should check with their medical insurance plans before the appointment that Low Vision Services, PLC is a participating provider.
