Low Vision Aids: Products for the Visually Impaired

People who have vision loss that is not correctable by prescription eyeglasses, contacts, surgery or pharmaceuticals are commonly referred to as having impaired vision or low vision. Currently, in the U.S. alone, there are over 20 million people age 40 and older that experience some form of vision impairment.

For most, the vision loss is due to age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma or cataracts, among other diseases. There are also many younger patients who have low vision due to Stargardt’s disease, retinopathy of prematurity, albinism and other genetic diseases.

Fortunately, most of these patients can maximize their remaining vision with the help of magnification devices such as hand held magnifiers, stand magnifiers, spectacle magnifiers, telescopes, and electronic or video magnifiers. These Low Vision aids can help those with vision loss remain independent and improve their quality of life.

Reading Glasses

Presbyopia is an age-related condition that begins at around age 40 and eventually affects most everyone by the age of 55 or so. The disease makes it difficult to see objects close-up and patients find themselves holding objects (like a menu) further and further away to see the print.

The typical solution to this problem is a pair of reading glasses. Eschenbach has a complete line of reading glasses to suit most people’s needs. Our readers are offered in a wide range of magnifications (from +1.00 diopter to +4.00 diopters) and in a variety of styles and designs such as wire rim or rimless frames. We also offer readers in a wide range of colors too! Learn more about finding the right pair of reading glasses.

Binoculars and Opera Glasses

If you enjoy birding, hunting, or other outdoor activities that can benefit from long range optics, Eschenbach’s line of high-quality binoculars can help you get close to the action. If you want to see the theatre stage better, we’ve also got a line of high-quality opera glasses as well. Find the right pair of binoculars or opera glasses for your activity.
