Macular Degeneration Glasses


Macular degeneration glasses can mean several different things. They can be magnifying glasses or glasses that reduce glare, enhance contrast and protect the macula from blue light.

Magnifying Reading Glasses

Magnifying reading glasses are helpful for reading so that you don't need to hold a magnifier.

It is best to let your low vision specialist determine the magnifying power that is right for you.

It will take some practice and adjustment to get comfortable reading with higher powered magnifying glasses. You will need to hold your reading material closer for better vision.To learn more click here: Magnifying Reading Glasses

Binocular Vision

Binocular vision can help you see things from a distance.

If you are wanting to watch your grandson play baseball, enjoy a sporting event or a Broadway musical you will find that through binocular vision you can once again enjoy seeing things or people from far away.
