Can low vision be improved even when regular glasses or surgery can’t help? In this Minnesota & Co. interview, host Jessica Fix sits down with Dr. Chris Palmer of Low Vision Restoration and his patient, Ann, to discuss how specialized low vision care is helping people regain independence. Ann shares her journey of living with Stargardt disease, an inherited eye condition that causes central vision loss. After working with Dr. Palmer, she was able to accomplish tasks she once thought were no longer possible through customized low vision solutions. During the interview, Dr. Palmer explains how specialized devices, including bioptic telescopes and reading telescopes, can help people with vision loss maximize the vision they still have. These custom low vision glasses are designed for people whose sight cannot be improved with traditional glasses, contact lenses, medication, or surgery.
