LOW VISION
By offering personalized, comprehensive low vision services our low vision program gives patients the opportunity to explore optical solutions for their daily lives. The optometrist, Dr. Laurie Hoffman, provides a low vision clinical exam which may include counseling on the specific eye condition, explanation of the eye report, screening for overall eye health, updating the eye glass prescription, and prescribing medications.
Patients are then seen by a certified low vision therapist to receive a functional low vision evaluation. A patient may be matched with and instructed in the use of appropriate optical and non-optical devices that will help them meet their individual needs.
To receive low vision services, call 704-887-5100 and a case manager will arrange to meet with you. New patients will need to provide a current eye report (less than one year old). The clinical exam, functional low vision evaluation, and training fees will be forwarded to your insurance company for processing, with a $40 fee due at the time of exam*.
*Fees based on a sliding scale.
