Bioptic Telescopic Glasses

Ғылым және технология

Dr. Armstrong explains how bioptic telescopic help people with macular degeneration, Stargardt Disease, diabetic retinopathy, albinism and other conditions see better so they can remain active and independent. Bioptics improve distance vision and help people recognize friends faces, watch TV, drive, watch sports or live theater. Many states including Virginia and our surrounding states license people with impaired vision to drive while wearing bioptic glasses. There is more information at www.VirginiaLowVision.com

    Hi Dr. Armstrong: I'm from Puerto Rico. I saw an information about this glasses some years ago. Then I showed it to my low vision doctor but she told me that the glasses are for people with more vision than me. Are there any changes in the magnification or the prescription needed to use the glasses?

    Thanks for watching my videos. Yes, improvements have been made in low vision glasses. Whether they will help you depends on the cause of your vision loss and the amount of your remaining vision. Your doctor in PR should be able to help answer your questions. Good luck.

    Does that help with high astigmatism? I have myopia and very high stigmatism and have a hard time getting a prescription and have to see a low vision specialist and I'm wondering if that would help for me to be able to read books or a computer

    Good question Rosie. Bioptics and other telescopic glasses include the person's eyeglass prescription. Your astigmatism and myopia prescription would be built into the telescopes. Bioptic telescopic glasses are made for distance vision. For reading or computer use a different type of telescopic glasses are used that focus at the closer distance. Click on this link to see my video explaining ways to help people with impaired vision see better for reading or using a computer. There are several different options. By careful evaluation of the patient's remaining vision and their goals I determine which is going to be most helpful. kzread.info/dash/bejne/fpp1k6aMosrXhrg.html

    I do understand. It is wonderful that she has you helping her. Low vision glasses are prescribed by a doctor who carefully evaluates the person's vision and their needs. That requires that the person go to the doctor for the evaluation. There is no way of knowing if low vision glasses will help your sister without a low vision evaluation. It cannot be done long distance. If your sister is in the United States please have her call me. 866 321-2030 If she's in another country she will have to locate a low vision doctor there. Thanks for the question. Good luck.

    The price, of course, depends upon the type of low vision glasses I determine will be most helpful to you. The bioptic telescopic glasses that the DMV allows people to drive with is usually about $2900. Could be more or less depending on your needs.
