About Our Practice
Low Vision Services PLC was established in 2008 to provide vision rehabilitation to individuals who have a vision condition not correctable to normal with glasses and/or contact lenses alone. Most patients seen by us already have a medical diagnosis for their vision condition and currently receive medical treatment or have been told that no further treatment is possible. Our services offer rehabilitation strategies to help compensate for the lack of normal vision using visual aids, non visual strategies and community to resources to optimize visual functioning.
