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.

I had a great experience with Memorial Eye Center on Barker Cypress. They were very easy to work wi... th and the location was perfect for me. The Eye Doctors are great! The staff is even better. They are very welcoming and knowledgeable and not in a rush to get you out the door, like other Eye Centers. Alexis worked closely with my Daughter and I to help us pick out the perfect frames and lenses. She did such a great job that we bought 3 new frames with lenses and even order new lenses for my prescription sunglasses. Thank you so much Memorial Eye Center Team.

Dr. Sharma went the "extra mile" to print a document that I needed to take with me to the DMV. I was... very thankful to her for doing that.🙏🏾 Although I was disappointed to learn that Dr. Z is no longer practicing and Memorial Eye Center took over Eye Trends, my overall experience was great! I am glad I can still come to the same "location" for quality eye care. I look forward to my next visit 👀
