@@maryjanearaza-castillo4150 I'm sorry, no. Until all forms and causes of vision loss are eliminated from the world, the condition of having low vision will exist. Treatable, not curable. Thank you, Dr. Long
Hello Doctor i am from India. I had a major retinal tear in my upper peripheral retina i had barrage laser to seal the tear but after that i had experience less visual fields downwards.

Being to these conditions i am facing depression and anxiety all the time. Please help me would these Svag glasses would help me to get my inferior field of vision to restore properly. How to order these glasses please suggest.
Thank you for your interest. The only way to see if they will help is to have a full low vision evaluation. Please visit www.ialvs.com to find a doctor. Regards, Dr. Long
I hope this message finds you well. My name is Abbas Ismail, and I am writing to you from Zaria, Kaduna State. I work as an admin assistant at the Distance Learning Centre, Ahmadu Bello University. I am visually impaired and have very low vision, which significantly impacts my ability to read writings on paper, even with reading glasses. Currently, the only way I can manage to read is by taking pictures of documents with my phone and zooming in on them. This workaround is far from ideal and has become increasingly challenging and psychologically taxing. I am reaching out to you to request any assistance or recommendations you may have to help improve my situation. Any support, whether technological or otherwise, would be greatly appreciated and would make a substantial difference in both my professional and personal life. Thank you very much for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Abbas Ismail
I appreciate your detailed message and your concerns. I wish I were able to help remotely, but I can not. Visit www.ialvs.com and Find a Doctor. Regards, Dr. Long
Relative to doing nothing, they are a good choice. However, the BEST choice, if possible, is to schedule her for a low vision evaluation. Visit www.ialvs.com and Find A Doctor. Thank you. -- Dr. Long
Hello Dr. Long. Because of an heart attack related brain damage, my father lost peripheral vision on his both eyes. We haven't measured it actually but approximately if you take nose as the normal line, he has 30 degrees on both sides making it up to 45 or 60 degress i think. Basically he can't see someone standing on his right or left. Does this help in this situation? And do you know anyone in the UK who can help us?
Thank you for asking. You need to see a low vision doctor who prescribes them. They are customized for you and cannot be directly ordered. Find a doctor at ialvs.com/doctor-directory/
I have a pair of these glasses for reading and another pair for distance. They are a little heavier but you get used to them. They have changed my life!! Dr Long and Holly are the best!!
intresting i have a 20% left side vission loss due to a brain tumor and multiple surgeries. it's tough to explain how it feels because your brain filters the loss out.
Will these work on a patient who has low vision due to myopic, keratoconus, and macular degeneration. Very high stigmatism. Also due to macula and retina reattachment. He wears rigid gas permeable contacts.
Dr. Long is definitely one of the great ones, he really cares, he is one that helps his patients to best utilize the vision that they still do have, unfortunately I can't say the same about many other doctors, you are greatly appreciated Dr. Long, i believe I've spoken with you a few times over the phone
These devices have been a life changer for me, i was born with Achromatopsia, was told my entire life that I'd never be able to drive, well now I am a bioptic driver, the freedom and independence that I've gained is unmatched, thank you for sharing this great info Dr......oh and i am very familiar with you, your clinic are one of our prescribers 😊
Holly is the best at explaining things! I have had my glasses for 2 years and I remember how exciting it was to be able to read at a normal distance with one pair of glasses and easily recognize people’s faces and learn to drive with the other pair of glasses. It changed my life!! I didn’t realize how much I had missed.
@@lipecanad4 of course! Holly is our lead low vision tech and she actually has Stargardt Disease. That said, you have to realize that you may be at a completely different level of vision even though you have the same disease. --Dr. Long
Hello. My granfather has both macula lutea and cataracts. He's 88 and he can't see well. What should we do about it? He's been having his injections for the past 4-5 months (I guess) but it has no good to him. I'd be happy if you could answer 🙏
Yes, there should be several medical eye doctors to choose from. As far as low vision care, Midwest Low Vision is only a couple hours away if you are having functional vision issues. Best of luck! Thank you.
I have hard time driving. Daytime ok but night bad. My doctor test my eye with new glasses that don't work. Said need shot in my right eye. I have catracts too.
Thank you for sharing. Difficulty night driving is one of the most common complaints I hear in my general practice, as well as in my low vision specialty. Filters and some special lenses, such as E-scoops, can help, but there are no easy remedies. Sometimes, night driving must simply be avoided. Best of luck to you. -Dr. Long
Thank you for the question. Many of these options will work for the computer, but a few considerations must be taken into account. First, the working distance. Typically, you won't be comfortable being too close to a monitor -- which rules out a few options, such as microscopic systems. Second, the position of the monitor. Is it a laptop, viewed well below eye level? Or, is it a desktop, at or above eye level? Third, field of vision can make a difference too. With larger, or multiple monitors, a small-field telescopic lens might be difficult slow and frustrating to use. Finally, on the plus side, you have light being emitted from the monitor, so proper lighting is not as much of a concern. Wide-angle telescopic systems are preferred, but larger monitors and special software should be considered as well. --Dr. Long
Dr.long Im mel from philippines and my mom has wet macular degeneration for a long time. I would like to ask how to get appointment to have a consultation schedule with you, so that you can evaluate my mother eye sights if what glasses will work for her..thank you..
Hello, our son has right side visual field loss due to a hemispherectomy surgery. He currently has prism glasses, but they don’t have the side lense seen here, we were told that the prism is “built in” (his lenses look like normal flat lenses). Could you tell me, if what he has is the same as what you offer? He’s 5 so it’s hard to know if the glasses are helping him or not since he doesn’t give the best info about what he can see/not see.
@@sittingonacorlflakePossibly, yes. It's a tool for expanding his vision. But again, he may adapt so well that any aids or special glasses may just be a hindrance.
Hello, I have glaucoma and now have low vision. Can bioptic telescope glasses help with my mobility? I have difficulty walking alone, I can't see if there are any hills or holes in the road
Maybe. There is no particular "thing" for ROP. Prescribing for any condition is dependent on the patients particular case and their particular goals. Great question. Thank you, -Dr. Long
I have wet macular seems overnight I couldn't see a stop sign ran to eye dr . sent me next day to a retina specialist getting an injection past 6 months every 6weeks now no improvent said it wS to keep from getting worse now I keep a patch over it because it's like looking into a funhouse mirror. this was my good eye
