Reading the mail, shopping, cooking, and writing can all seem challenging.Your doctor may not be able to restore your vision, but Low Vision services can help you make the most of what is remaining.

Knueppel, who practices at the Vision Therapy Center in Brookfield and Madison, Wisconsin, went up a few weeks earlier.' Parents request the list, if we don't get it out soon enough,' Dr. Knueppel says. 'They do appreciate having some ideas for Christmas gifts that will support their child's vision therapy program. In addition, the toys on the list are good for any child to help build visual skills.'
