8 weeks to improving your vision up to 70%
The Low Vision Works® Rehabilitation Program
The Low Vision Works® program is a highly effective vision occupational therapy process that restores vision and functionality to individuals with low vision disabilities- such as age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and certain types of stroke-related vision disorders.
The Low Vision Works program is a uniquely structured approach that consistently improves functional visual acuity, as well as reading speed and accuracy.
THE LVW DIFFERENCEMeaningful Results Through Occupational Therapy-Based Low Vision Rehabilitation
Since the introduction of the Low Vision Works program in 2001, individuals participating in our occupational therapy-led interventions have demonstrated consistently strong outcomes in functional vision and daily task performance.
Many of our clients experience:
-
Significant improvements in functional visual acuity
-
Noticeable increases in reading speed and accuracy
-
Enhanced ability to read smaller print sizes with appropriate tools and training
These outcomes are made possible through structured, evidence-informed protocols that focus on maximizing remaining vision, integrating sensory and cognitive strategies, and personalizing the use of assistive devices.
As a result, our clients often regain confidence in performing meaningful daily activities such as:
-
Reading books, mail, and menus
-
Watching television
-
Preparing meals
-
Using a computer or smartphone
-
Managing grooming and dressing
-
Shopping independently
-
Recognizing the faces of loved ones
These improvements reflect the powerful impact that medical low vision occupational therapy rehabilitation, provided by licensed occupational therapists in coordination with referring eye care professionals, can have on safety, independence, and quality of life.
