Low Vision Care & Daily Function Support in Livermore

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.

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.
