SB Optical Helps In Visual Rehabilitation

SB Optical specializes in providing personalized low vision solutions for low vision patients including those who have AMD.

We take the modern approach to low vision rehabilitation. Our low vision assessment is comprised of multiple phases after which the right treatment is recommended depending on the needs of each patient.

The first step of our assessments is understanding the various needs and daily activities the patient has difficulty in performing due to their visual condition. The second step of our assessment is measuring three major visual functions including visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and refractive errors. The third step includes the application of special devices that will help in the rehabilitation of the vision. Vision can be rehabilitated by up to 15-20%. We train our patients on how to correctly use the devices suitable for them so they can achieve the maximum benefit. We also offer special lenses that reduce glare. We provide a follow up assessment (two months later) in which we evaluate the changes in the visual acuity.

With an increase in the number of low vision cases in the aging population, we would like to increase awareness that solutions are available for many cases!

Amsler Grid Test: A Self Test This is a test that can help detect early signs of AMD.

This test consists of a grid with horizontal and vertical lines as well as a small dot located in the center of the grid. The person has to cover one eye, while the other eye looks at the dot in the center of the grid (the same is done with the other eye). The grid should be placed around 12-14 inches away from the person. If the horizontal and vertical lines become distorted or seem to be wavy and there are missing areas on the grid, as well as blurry or grey areas, you should see an ophthalmologist.
