Low Vision TV Glasses

Although low vision aids are available in a number of formats, both optical and electronic, there is a need for magnifiers to help with seeing the TV. Now there are glasses that free the hands and the focus is adjustable.

They may be of use to anyone with limited vision and no prescription is required. It is important to avoid excessive movement of the head to avoid rapid movement of the visual field, which can cause nausea similar to motion sickness. For this reason, the magnifying glasses may not be appropriate for a patient with a head tremor. They are best used while sitting quietly. These glasses fit most adults head sizes with pupillary distances ranging from 60-68mm. If your eyes are closely spaced or far apart, you may wish to have your pupillary distance measured at a local optical shot by an optician just to make sure the glasses will fit your face. Many of my patients report improvement in the ability to view their TV programs with these high-quality magnifiers. For current pricing, please click this link.
