News

ANNOUNCING ABVI's NEW LOW VISION SERVICES

In September 2006 in conjunction with Low Vision Optometrist Specialist Dr. Diane Katania, ABVI launched low vision eye examination/services for Lehigh County Residents.
These services are for people affected by eye conditions which are causing significant deterioration in their sight (such as Macular Degeneration, Glaucoma, Diabetic Retinopathy) but have stable vision. The services help people to use their remaining vision to do more of the daily tasks they would like to do again, such as bill paying, seeing faces/pictures, common household tasks etc.

The services DO NOT REPLACE, rather they compliment normal eye examinations with the attending eye doctor.

For further information contact ABVI at 610-433-6018.
