Low Vision
Low Vision is a bilateral impairment to vision that significantly impairs the functioning of the patient and cannot be adequately corrected with medical, surgical, therapy, conventional eyewear or contact lenses. It is often a loss of sharpness or acuity but may present as a loss of field of vision, light sensitivity, distorted vision or loss of contrast. Low vision often may occur as a result of birth defects, injury, the aging process or as a complication of disease.
Florida Eye Associates' Low Vision services do not cure the cause of the vision problem but rather utilize the remaining vision to its fullest potential. Low vision care does not replace the need for other concurrent treatments such as laser, medication and surgery. Our doctors prescribe prescription eyewear, filters, microscopic - telescopic eyewear, magnifiers, adaptive equipment, closed circuit television systems, independent living aids, training and counsel patients.

Contact Lenses
Contact lenses usually serve the same corrective purpose as glasses, but are lightweight and virtually invisible-many commercial lenses are tinted a faint blue to make them more visible when immersed in cleaning and storage solutions.
People choose to wear contact lenses for many reasons, often due to their appearance and practicality. When compared with glasses, contact lenses are less affected by wet weather, do not steam up, and provide a wider field of vision. They are more suitable for a number of sporting activities. Additionally, conditions such as keratoconus may not be accurately corrected with glasses.
