LOW VISION TELESCOPES
A low vision telescope is a small telescope that is attached to regular glasses. They are specially made to help the patient perform the task they desire to accomplish. By attaching the telescopes to glasses with the existing prescription, the wearer is able to correct for their other vision problems such as Myopia while correcting for their main visual impairment such as central vision loss caused by macular degeneration. Most patients are looking for the option to be able to drive, see their loved ones, and read, and with the correct low vision telescopes, these activities become an option again. Because each low vision telescope is selected specifically by our eye doctor, it is difficult to go into detail about each option. Call us to schedule a consult with Dr. Yesnick to find out what is the right solution for you. One of the main advantages of low vision telescopes over handheld magnifiers is that the wearer is hands-free and able to enjoy life to its fullest.
Low vision telescopes are a state of the art device that radically alters the lives of a low vision patient. Whether it is allowing them to drive again or helping them see their families, it is a decision that will impact the rest of their lives. Rest assured that at YESnick Vision Center you have come to a warm and loving environment where our eye doctor and staff have made it our business to help those with low vision. Our state of the art low vision center located in Las Vegas is the largest private practice in Las Vegas. It offers family eye care, low vision, and Nevada’s only low vision driving school. Choosing low vision telescopes is not a small decision, visit our practice to speak to “The Specialist Dr. Yesnick” about the best option for your needs.
Each patient is unique and we evaluate every person’s needs to determine the best vision solution for him or her. Here are several types of low vision telescopes:
Spectacle Miniature Telescopes
Using different designs and powers, depending on the needs of the patient. Bioptics are mounted higher on the glasses allowing the wearer to use them when needed such as when they are driving and need to see a street sign. Full Diameter designs allow for bigger optics and are a better fit for television watching and seeing peoples faces. The SMT allows for crystal clear viewing for every need, from reading to driving.
Spectacle Prismatic Glasses
Commonly known as low vision reading glasses, these prism glasses have a single magnification across the whole lens allowing for easier reading. They provide a useful tool for reading and other close up tasks while being hands-free and portable. These glasses are also available as Bifocals, which provides two levels of magnification, perfect for people who have trouble with smaller text. The ideal wearer has similar vision loss in both eyes and requires low levels of magnification.
Prisms
These glasses are considered the intermediate option between telescopes and regular glasses. For patients that are not helped by regular glasses but have relatively low vision loss, the prism glasses can provide the ideal solution. By shifting the image towards the periphery of the eye, the prism projects the image to where it can be seen clearly. These glasses reduce glare, and provide limited magnification, ensuring optimal vision.
MicroScope Glasses
This type of glasses provides magnification for close tasks such as reading and computer use. Usually, they come with special tints and filters to reduce glare and add contrast which improves the overall visual experience. These types of glasses are preferred over handheld magnifiers, stand magnifiers, and digital magnifiers as they are hands-free and portable. Because the lens is closer to the eye, it provides a wider viewing field than traditional magnifiers.
