When Your Eye Doctor Says Nothing More Can Be Done

At The Low Vision Centers of North Carolina, we specialize in providing hope and functional solutions when traditional ophthalmology has reached its limit. While your primary eye doctor may have addressed your eye health, our low-vision rehabilitation focuses on maximizing the vision you have left. We use specialized optics to help you regain independence.

Hearing the phrase “nothing more can be done” is a devastating moment for patients with macular degeneration or glaucoma. However, this statement usually refers to surgery or medication. It does not account for the field of low vision rehabilitation. Dr. Edward Paul and our clinical team look at your vision through a different lens, focusing on how you can use your remaining sight to perform daily tasks.

By utilizing the International Academy of Low Vision Specialists (IALVS) protocols, we prescribe custom high-powered optics that go far beyond standard eyeglasses. Whether your goal is to see your grandchildren’s faces or return to a favorite hobby, we provide the tools to make it possible. We don’t replace your current eye doctor; we provide the functional care they can’t offer.
