Comprehensive Eye Exams for Low Vision Care
An eye exam may help you understand how your vision is functioning and how vision loss affects everyday activities. During low-vision care, Dr. Anyadike can consider your current vision, the difficulties you are experiencing, and the goals you would like to address.
Bring your current glasses to your appointment. When possible, also bring records from your retina specialist or previous eye doctor so Dr. Anyadike has additional information about your vision and previous care.
Low Vision Related to Eye Disease
This section covers low vision related to eye disease. Conditions such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and cataracts can leave lasting changes in vision. Low-vision care does not replace the medical treatment you receive for an eye disease. Instead, it focuses on how existing vision loss affects daily activities and what practical support may be worth exploring.
This section covers low vision from macular degeneration. Macular degeneration can affect central vision, making detailed tasks such as reading or recognizing faces more difficult. Low-vision care focuses on how these changes affect your day-to-day life and what strategies or devices may help you make better use of your remaining vision. Dr. Anyadike can work with you to identify the activities that matter most and explore low-vision options around those goals.
This section covers low vision from glaucoma. Vision loss from glaucoma can interfere with reading, mobility, household activities, and other aspects of daily life. When lasting vision loss remains despite ongoing medical care, low-vision support can focus on the functional challenges that continue to affect you. Dr. Anyadike considers how your remaining vision works in everyday situations and which low-vision options may be appropriate to explore.
This section covers low vision from diabetic retinopathy. Diabetic retinopathy can lead to vision changes that make familiar activities more difficult.

Dr. Anyadike can explore practical strategies and low-vision devices based on your functional needs.
This section covers cataract-related low vision. Some people experience significant functional vision impairment related to cataracts or cataract-related vision changes.
