Macular Degeneration Vision Enhancement
Special Glasses May Help You Drive Again.
O ces Throughout Southern California
For many patients with macular degeneration and other vision-related conditions, the loss of central vision also signals the end to one of the last bastions
of independence - driving. California optometrist Dr. Richard Shuldiner is using miniaturized telescopes which are mounted in glasses to help people who have lost vision from macular degeneration and other eye conditions.
“Some of my patients consider me the last chance for people who have vision loss” said Dr. Shuldiner, “most people don’t know that there are low vision optometrists who have extensive experience in helping those with vision loss.We help people with macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, RP and other eye diseases regain function and independence. Low Vision glasses may allow you to read, watch television, see sporting events, and even drive”.
While there is currently no cure, promising research is being done on many fronts. “My job is to gure out everything and anything possible to keep a person functioning” says Dr. Shuldiner.
“Even if it’s driving.”
“The major bene t of bioptic telescope low vision glasses is magnifying road signs, traf c lights and other distance objects necessary for safe driving”.
Dr. Shuldiner is the founder of
The International Academy of Low Vision Specialists (www.IALVS.com) and has extensive experience in working with the visually impaired.
