Low Vision Works Expands Services Into Southwest Florida
Exclusive Low Vision Therapy Now Offered in Hillsborough, Pinellas, Manatee, Sarasota, Charlotte and Collier counties
/EINPresswire.com/ Sarasota, Florida - March 27, 2012 -- Low Vision Works, LLC, a leading provider of in home low vision occupational therapy services, has expanded their service area into Florida. Low Vision Works provides a uniquely effective treatment for patients who suffer from low vision disabilities. Low Vision Works is the exclusive provider of this proprietary visual therapy treatment and is now serving the Florida communities in Hillsborough, Pinellas, Manatee, Sarasota, Charlotte, and Collier counties. The announcement was made today by Low Vision Works President and Founder, Michele A. Vandendooren, OTR/L.
"As exclusive providers of this low vision therapy for a predominantly senior population, our patients are often painfully aware of the limitation they face due to their low vision," said Vandendooren. "Low Vision Works was created specifically for those patients, to provide a viable solution for visual problems. Our goal is to restore the patient's visual and functional independence both of which were once considered to be hopeless."
Low vision is a condition that is not treatable by the use of surgery, medication, or corrective lenses and can become progressively worse with age. For many seniors, simple tasks such as 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 will use a proprietary visual retraining method: finding the healthy areas of vision in 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 covered by Medicare for those eligible.
The treatment has increased visual acuity an average of 40 to 70 percent for patients who received the two essential components of visual rehabilitation: visual enhancement and a compensatory process, such as home safety evaluations, and treating the consequences of vision loss, resulting in overall functional independence.
Low Vision Works provides in-home occupational therapy services to patients in seven states in the United States. To find out more information about Low Vision Works, visit www.lowvisionworks.com. For more information about Low Vision Works in the Southwest Florida area, please call 1.866.590.0011.
