Low Vision Causing Reading Problems

Typically strokes cause only mild changes in visual acuity. Brain tumors and traumatic brain injury are more likely to cause a major loss of central visual acuity. When visual acuity is impaired magnification devices may be required including: high add bifocals, magnifiers, electronic video magnification systems, and/or special microscopic eye wear may help the patient read again. A low vision evaluation can provide a variety of options to help the patient.
