Low Vision Rehabilitation

Comprehensive Visual Function Evaluation

Measures your reading speed and accuracy, ability to see in low-contrast situations, potential to see better with corrective lenses or optical devices, visual motor skills, and ease or difficulty in performing daily activities. We also measure your visual field for driving and mobility.

Onsite and Remote Assessments

We assess your abilities and your environment. Our assessments cover your functional mobility, driving ability, lighting needs, computer and technology skills, and potential use of optical devices. We offer training that includes the use of computers and hand-held devices, enhanced hand-eye coordination, and proper use of a bioptic telescope for driving.

Onsite Demonstration and Training

Depending on your needs, we can demonstrate and train you to use computers, mobile devices, optical character readers, magnifiers for near work, video reading machines, and non-optical devices for cooking and dining, writing, sewing, crafts, money management, color identification, and medication management.

Athletes of all levels will benefit from the customized programs offered by the experts at the sports vision center located at Duke Eye Center in Durham. We assess skills and design training programs using state-of-the-art instruments to train and rehab athletes who perform visually demanding activities.
