Patients who have eye disease or have sustained a brain injury can experience significant, frustrating losses in visual performances, which directly impact the ability to work, study or drive. These losses can occur with eye conditions such as macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy or glaucoma. Visual disability can also occur after traumatic brain injury, stroke or other brain related disorders. Sometimes these losses in visual performance cannot be completely corrected with prescription eyewear, medication or surgery, but with specialized optical or electronic devices and training, vision can be improved, allowing for a return to independent living.

If you or someone you know suffers disabling visual conditions, Eye Consultants of Syracuse can help. We have a certified rehabilitation specialist who can answer questions, provide comprehensive functional visual exams and make referrals to agencies and programs that can offer therapies and products designed to help rebuild lost independence.
