Low vision can make everyday tasks feel more difficult, but it doesn’t mean losing independence. We help patients with permanent vision loss find practical, supportive ways to adapt. Led by Dr. Steven Faith, our low vision services offer personalized care, hands-on device support, and tools to help you navigate daily life with greater ease.
Low Vision Care & Daily Function Support in Livermore
What is Low Vision?
Low vision is a significant, permanent vision loss that eyeglasses, contact lenses, or surgery cannot fully correct. It’s often caused by:
- Macular degeneration
- Glaucoma
- Diabetic retinopathy
- Retinal diseases
- Complications after eye surgery
People with low vision may struggle with reading, mobility, or recognizing faces — even if they’ve worn eyeglasses for years. The good news? There are many ways to adapt; we’re here to help you find what works best.
How We Help at Livermore Optometry Group
Low vision care at our office focuses on identifying the tools and techniques to help you maintain confidence and control in your daily life. We’ll start with a detailed evaluation and then walk you through real-world strategies and resources. These may include:
- Magnifiers and assistive devices
- Lighting and contrast enhancements
- Strategies for reading, mobility, or digital access
- Special-order devices tailored to your specific vision goals
This is eye care that evolves with your needs — not a one-time fix.
Personalized Support for Every Stage
We center our care on what matters to you, whether you are adjusting to recent vision loss or have been managing it for years. We collaborate with patients and families to create manageable, empowering care plans, designed for your routines, not around them.
Our team supports:
- Adults and seniors with age-related vision changes
- Patients with progressive retinal conditions
- Caregivers seeking guidance for a loved one’s care
