/EINPresswire.com/ Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, April 9, 2013 -- Health Calls, a leading provider of home health care services, has entered into a partnership with Low Vision Works for the Berks County area. The partnership, doing business as Low Vision Works by Health Calls, provides a uniquely effective treatment for patients who suffer from low vision disabilities. Health Calls is the exclusive provider of the visual therapy now serving the Pennsylvania communities in Berks County. The announcement was made today by Health Calls Owners Maria Radwanski and Michael Little.

“As providers of health care for a predominantly senior population, our patients are often painfully aware of the limits placed before them due to their low vision,” said Radwanski. “Our partnership with Low Vision Works was created specifically with those patients in mind, to provide a viable solution for visual problems that were once considered hopeless.”

Low vision is not curable by surgery, medication or corrective lenses and can become progressively worse with age. For many seniors, walking safely, cooking and watching television are extremely challenging. Many senior adults suffer from low vision disabilities including such eye diseases as Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), Diabetic Retinopathy and Glaucoma.

The specialized low vision treatment offered by Low Vision Works by Health Calls will use visual retraining - finding the healthy areas of the eye and then training the eye to use those healthy areas for clearer vision. It is designed specifically to help those who suffer from Macular degeneration. And it is 100% covered by Medicare for those eligible.

The treatment has increased visual acuity an average of 40 to 60 percent for patients who received visual retraining in combination with home modification. Reading speed and accuracy improved equally dramatically, resulting in overall functional independence. More information on Low Vision Works can be found online at www.LowVisionWorks.com.

Health Calls provides home health care services in the state of Pennsylvania, offering various programs and specialized services including case management, skilled nursing, wound and ostomy care and physical therapy.
