Around millions of people all over the world are having vision problems either due to glaucoma or due to cataract. Even with proper medications, glasses and lens most of them find difficult to see the things or difficulty in reading. A low vision examination is quite different from the basic examination routinely performed by primary care optometrists and ophthalmologists. 

Month of February is observed as National Low Vision Awareness Month!!  Let’s pledge and make our eyes healthy and powerful.
