Many of us practice low vision within a private practice. Like anything else, low vision has its challenges and opportunities. Here are some helpful tips:

This sets the low vision ‘practice within a practice’ apart. Having a separate phone number also helps your staff ensure that low vision patients do not get thrown into your regular schedule (see more on block scheduling below).
