Low vision
An hour spent on the tasks you want back, not on the chart.
When sight cannot be corrected further with an ordinary lens, the question stops being how small a letter you can read and becomes which particular things you have stopped doing. Reading a bank statement, seeing a face across a table, cooking safely, following a score. Magnification, lighting, contrast and position are the four levers, and lighting is the one people underestimate.
What this includes
- A list, made by you, of what you want back and in what order
- Magnifiers tried on the actual thing you want to read rather than on a card
- Lighting, which is free to change and does more than most devices
- Electronic magnification where the task needs it
- How to get to us and back, which is often the real obstacle
What this is not
- Nothing here restores sight that has been lost
- We do not certify anybody as sight impaired; that is done elsewhere and we will say where
The appointment
Booking this
Ring or book online. Bring the bank statement, the book or whatever else you actually want to read again.
Where this is bounded
What we will and will not tell you here is bounded by this straight answer: We do not operate, and we are not an ophthalmologist.
