LOW VIsion Services
Low Vision Services
Wilmington Family Eye Care specializes in low vision to help those with visual impairment.
People who have lost eyesight due to injuries or eye disease need special types of products to help them function as independently as possible. We offer a full range of these products through our office. Our paraoptometric staff is trained to demonstrate the use of some of these devices. They range all the way from a simple hand magnifier to a closed circuit TV system.
In addition, we can direct those who have low vision problems to products that will help them carry on the day-to-day tasks that they need to perform. In some cases we can set up a program for the low vision patient with the National Library of Congress to receive “books on tapes”, which is a service for the blind.

A WIDE RANGE OF
OPTOMETRY SERVICES
Comprehensive Exams
Our staff creates a caring and comfortable environment to help your family feel right at home with our comprehensize medical exams.
Contact Lenses
Our optometrists work with you to determine which material, brand, and design is best for your eyes and your lifestyle.
Glaucoma
We screen every patient and use advanced technologies for treatment in the prevention of vision loss from Glaucoma. Glaucoma is referred to as the sneak thief of vision loss and the only detection is through a comprehensive eye examination.
Diabetic Eye Exams
Diabetes is a leading cause of blindness. Our doctors will assess for damage to small vessels and communicate with your primary care physician. The early stages of damage do not cause changes in vision and you will not have symptoms. Only an eye exam can detect the problem and prevent vision loss.
Macular Degeneration
Our doctors are the first to lead the revolution in vision loss prevention through Adapt Dx - a test that can detect age related macular degeneration (AMD) 3 years earlier. Early detection leads to better vision outcomes.
