Exclusive Visual Therapy Now Offered in Duval, St. John, Nassau, and Clay Counties 

SARASOTA, FL, USA, August 29, 2014 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Low Vision Works, the leading provider of low vision occupational therapy rehabilitation services, has expanded into the Jacksonville area. Low Vision Works provides a uniquely effective treatment for patients who suffer from low vision disabilities. Low Vision Works is the exclusive provider of the visual therapy now serving Florida Communities in Duvall, St. John, Nassau, and Clay Counties. The announcement was made today by Low Vision Works President Michele Vandendooren.

"As providers of occupational therapy for a predominantly senior population, our patients are often painfully aware of the limits placed before them due to low vision," said Vandendooren. "The Low Vision Works therapy program was developed specifically for those patients to provide a viable solution for visual problems that were once considered hopeless."

Low vision is not curable by surgery, medication or corrective lenses, and can become progressively worse with age. For many seniors, walking safely, cooking and watching television are extremely challenging. Many senior adults suffer from low vision disabilities including such eye diseases as Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), Diabetic Retinopathy and Glaucoma.

The specialized low vision treatment offered by Low Vision Works will use visual retraining - finding the healthy areas for clearer vision. It is designed specifically to help those who suffer from Macular Degeneration, and it is covered by Medicare for those eligible.

The treatment has increased visual function an average of 40 to 60 percent for those who receive visual retraining in combination with home modification. Reading speed and accuracy improved equally dramatically, resulting in over functional independence. More information on Low Vision Works can be found online at www.lowvisionworks.com.

Low Vision Works provides low vision therapy in six states in the United States. For more information about the Low Vision Works program in the Jacksonville area please call, 866-590-0011 and speak to a Low Vision Works representative.
