What Does "Low Vision" Mean?

Low vision refers to vision loss that can’t be corrected with standard glasses, contact lenses or surgery. However, it isn't considered blindness as limited eyesight remains. Symptoms typically include blind spots, poor night vision and blurred vision. Low vision is commonly caused by age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma and diabetes.

Fortunately, people with low vision can continue living full and meaningful lives with the help of low vision aids and devices.

What are low vision devices?

Optical aids include standing and hand-held magnifiers, strong magnifying reading glasses, and small telescopes, among others. To learn more, contact Fulghum Optometry today.

What conditions can cause low vision?

Low vision can be caused by a number of eye conditions and diseases, including age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetes, eye cancer, albinism, and genetic eye disorders.

I had an appointment with Dr Mason on 6.23.25, for a second opinion. I have had 3 different types of... glasses made from my current Optomologist and my vision is blurry. Dr Mason's examination was very thorough and extensive. During his testing I could see so clear and it felt so good. I will be coming back to Dr Mason in the future. I was very impressed with his entire office. Dr Mason is very nice and so knowledgeable and thorough.....very impressed. Gabby was awesome as well as Jeff. They were both very kind, knowledgeable and thorough in their areas of expertise. The office is also very nice and the location is in a great fun area.
