Low Vision Evaluation

Low vision refers to reduced visual function that cannot be fully corrected with standard glasses, contact lenses, or medical treatment. It may result from eye disease, neurological conditions, or age-related changes.

A low vision evaluation focuses on understanding how vision loss affects daily activities such as reading, mobility, work, and independent living. The goal is to identify strategies and tools that help patients maximize remaining vision and maintain quality of life.

Evaluations may include assessment of visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, visual fields, and functional vision needs. Recommendations are individualized and may involve visual aids, environmental modifications, and adaptive strategies.

Low vision care is supportive and patient-centered, with an emphasis on practical solutions and realistic goals.

All low vision evaluations are provided at our Santa Monica optometry office, located inside Montana Eyes on Montana Avenue.
