INTRODUCTION

Your eyesight is priceless. It makes everything from a Sunday matinee to a championship sports event to a spell binding novel more enjoyable. That's why Vision Park Family Eye Care continually strives to take the best possible care of your vision. It's been our top priority since 1929 - and it always will be.

Vision Park combines professional skill with personalized service. And, because we are a partnership of professionals who specialize in different areas, we can offer more diversified state-of-the-art service.

Making Low Vision Liveable

Some vision problems cannot, as yet, be corrected. But there are things we can do to help people with low vision maintain independent lifestyles. Vision Park will evaluate each individual to see what options are indicated. If appropriate we will recommend low-vision therapy which enhances partial vision through microscopic lenses, telescopes and sophisticated optical aids. Low-vision aids do not restore sight, but they will help the visually impaired make the best use of their existing vision.

We also encourage low-vision persons to make use of large-print books and magazines, books on cassette, closed circuit television, or special training. Other assistance is available through of a variety of organizations, such as the Iowa Radio Reading Information Service (IRIS) or the Iowa Department for the Blind and its mobility and independent living assistance programs.
