Prescribing Telescopic Glasses for Low Vision Patients
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2020
- Hello, Dr. Long here sharing three low vision patient cases.
First we have Bobby who is partially-sighted secondary to trauma and ocular histoplasmosis and he is updating his bioptic driver's licensure.
Second is De'Vante who has optic neuropathy and sees 20/120 with each eye. He wants to become a bioptic driver, be able to read, recognize faces, see fast food menus, and many other things.
Finally, Lonnie has diabetic retinopathy and neovascular glaucoma and I explain more about his condition and goals in the final segment of the video.

Great to see people being helped!
Thank you Joe. It's a blessing and very rewarding to be able to!
I see that they do not look ugly as the other telescopic glasses
I have STABLE advance diabetes retinopathy/ glaucoma / cataract in my left eye . My left eye vision is between 20/40 -20/70 with glasses. My right eye is legally blind due to side effect after cataract surgery. I developed neocular glaucoma. I just got my biopic lens and I will be learning how to drive as a monocular biopic driver in 2022. YES! People with vision in one eye and or people with low vision can drive a car if he or she can pass low vision clinic vision test.
Very true! It does depend on your Country...and in the case of the United States, it depends on your State. Good luck to you! -- Dr. Long
I live in California
@@misshelloareyouthere did you manage to get a license on your drive in california?
If successful, can you explain a little more about this process?
I have macular degeneration in the middle of my eyes and I really want to get my drive license
My God. You have problems. Hope you are ok.
Gib, that's not nice. Do you say this to all blind or visually impaired people?
Very interested in this. I’m legally blind, acuity is CF 1 foot in left eye & hand motion in right eye. I have a large loss of peripheral vision. Would something like this benefit me or do I not have enough residual vision?
Korrine, it's really hard to say without seeing you for an examination. For one thing, I've seen CF and hand motion vision turn out to be much better when measured accurately and/or using non-standard methods (e.g., eccentric viewing). For another, I've seen people respond quite differently to low vision glasses and devices who measure the same by these standard vision measurement methods.
Ultimately, trying things is the only way to know for sure. --Dr. Long
Been to Low Vision specialist and tried several bioptics. My good eye is 20/60. Main goal to continue playing music (trumpet and conductor). Need distance of 32-40", Field of vision would need to be size of letter paper (8.5"). Also, without having to move my head to read a single line, which is the issue with the ones I have tried. Magnification needs to be in 3-4 range. Any thoughts on what would work? Thank you
Thank you for your question. You bring up a tough question. You need the magnification AND the field of vision to succeed. This is difficult with optics. You may need to research the head worn video options that are available. Or, look at scrolling the music on a tablet using special software. Best of luck! - Dr. Long
Q.E.P.D. Dr. Pino!😢
How can I get help paying for bioptkc glases I've had a pair in the past they got broken I'm leagley blind my right eye is 2200 vision left eye is blind.
Great question. Bioptics certainly cost more than regular glasses. Your best bet is to have a low vision examination and see what resources are available to help locally because it can vary from State to State, County to County, church to church, etc. Your low vision doctor may also know of private resources willing to help based on need. --Dr. Long
I had cataract and an iol implant i have + 12 D and nystagmus,is there any posibily i could inhance in some ways my distance view?
Yes, telescopic glasses or a hand-held telescope could help. Search for low vision care in your area. Regards, Dr. Long
Do any of your patients have keratoconus and benefited from getting some bioptics
Yes, of course. Most eye conditions that cause less-than-normal vision can be helped by using bioptics or other telescopic glasses. Thank you for the question! -Dr. Long
Helo doc, my son has been undergo with ahmed valve for both eyes last year because of glaucoma, first ahmed valve surgery was his right eye & it was sucessful, then after a few months was his left eye to hav implant the same procedure with ahmed valve but unfortunately the operation was not sucesful because it cost retinal detachment & it caused his optic nerve to be damaged after the operation, & now his left eye is totally very low vision, is there anything we can do for this?
Benjamin, thank you for trusting my opinion on this serious matter. Unfortunately, low vision care is not appropriate for helping only one eye when the other eye is functioning adequately for a person's needs. Low vision care would become necessary if your son's vision in his right eye were to decline to a point that he could not see well enough to do the things that he would want or need to do. --Dr. Long
Great work..I need some contact information
Thank you. It's all in the video description. - Dr. Long
Is this prescription available in Singapore?
I'm sorry but I'm not sure. I would recommend searching "low vision" and "telescopic glasses" in your area. Good luck and thank you for asking! --Dr. Long
Where do you get these type of glasses?
Thank you for asking. I noticed that I did not include my contact information in the video description. I added it, so take a look there for more details. But, the short answer is that you get these types of glasses by having an experienced low vision doctor like me prescribe, order, and dispense (with training) for you. If you would like to schedule our phone number is 1-877-577-2040. -- Dr. Long
Hello Sir ...I need your help. My name is Larona Mogome residing in Botswana (Africa). I have low vision of worse than 6/60 much like Devante. I recently started working for the federal government. I am very much interested in the telescopic glasses he has on. How can I acquire such glasses because this would change my life. Please help Sir.
Thank you for your interest. My contact information is listed in the video description. You will need to have an examination with me or another low vision provider in order to obtain prescription telescopic glasses. Regards, Dr. Long
Where can get this glass in Malaysia?
I'm sorry, but I don't know. A Google search for "bioptic telescopic glasses" in your area may help. Also, search for a low vision doctor who can prescribe them. --Dr. Long
How can I get the glasses for my 14years daughter, we reside in Nigeria
Thank you for asking. She needs to be examined by a low vision specialist. I would be happy to see her...or the IALVS now has a doctor in South Africa as well, if that is a possibility. He should be listed on the directory soon: www.ialvs.com/find-doctor/
--Dr. Long
@@midwestlowvisiondr.jarrodl8904 she was check upon at the University teaching hospital ( UCH) ibadan Nigeria by a low vision doctor, but she's having difficulty in using the magnifying glasses, I will prefer the your glasses for her. I really appreciate your response

Call me to schedule an appointment or search for a low vision provider in your area who prescribes advanced optical solutions such as these. Thank you. --Dr. Long
How could I get these type of glasses??
Google "low vision" and see if someone in you area prescribes them. Best of luck! -- Dr. Long
Do you know how I could find a doctor who could prescribe these kinds of glasses in Northern California?
Thank you for asking, yes, visit www.ialvs.com and search your area. Best of luck! --Dr. Long
Thanks for the link!
What is the price of low vision glasses in rupees
Thank you for asking. The price can vary quite a bit depending on the make, model, style, and prescription. I can only prescribe them after doing a thorough, in-person, low vision evaluation to be certain that they meet your goals and needs. If you are able to schedule an appointment at my office here in Indiana, USA, then please call for more details such as price ranges for certain glasses and aids. Prices are in US Dollars and you will need to make those currency conversion calculations. Thanks again for your interest! --Dr. Long
I wish I could get some help. I’m in Arkansas
Look up Dr. Brett Mills in Bentonville. He can help. -Dr. Long
Helli doctor, I live in Montreal Canada and cannot seem to find a doctor capable of prescribing any form of glass3dnti help with my Stargardts.. do you have any recommendations?
It sounds like you could benefit from a visit to a low vision doctor. Do a Google search for "low vision doctor" to find someone in your area. Alternately, the International Academy of Low Vision Specialists, a group to which I belong, is a great reference to find a qualified doctor as well. I have a Canadian colleague who could help, but he is in on the west coast. Also, we have doctors located in the northeastern US. Good luck, don't give up looking for help.
@@midwestlowvisiondr.jarrodl8904 It's great that you take the time to respond to your viewers.
@@Mr.DeeTea Thank you, I try, but most commenters are too far away to come see me. It's just unfortunate that there aren't more providers around the world who prescribe the types of advanced glasses and devices that I do as part of the International Academy of Low Vision Specialists. We are growing though! www.ialvs.com/find-doctor/ --Dr. Long
Hi ..
My two children have this Stargardt's...
I am a low vision patient, retinal coloboma in left eye, 6/30, and corneal opacity in right eye : 6/100, Can I use this glasses in my office work when I need to see the documents?
Yes, reading telescopic glasses would likely allow you to see documents. Our technician has vision similar to yours and she uses them successfully to do her paperwork here in the office. I would need to see you or you would need to find someone in your area who prescribes them. They require precise measurements and fitting. Thank you, Dr. Long
@@midwestlowvisiondr.jarrodl8904 Sir Thank u you for your quick rsponse, actually I am from Bangladesh, work in GOVT office, This type glasses is very much useful and looks normal when I am in office work, but this glasses are not availble in my country I searched a lot, So what can I do? How I can get this Plz help me, I have a lots of problem in working as I have see documents,
@@learningwithovi6637 I'm sorry I cannot do more. Unfortunately, I cannot give medical advice and prescribe special glasses through the internet. I wish you the best. Dr. Long
@@midwestlowvisiondr.jarrodl8904 ok sir, Can you suggest any doctor in india so that I can easily go to india and get advice and get this glasses?
@@learningwithovi6637 I'm sorry, but no, I do not know of any doctors in India that perform Low Vision Care or that prescribe these glasses. Dr. Long
I knew executives were not uncommon.
Why is everyone getting lazik?
People have been getting LASIK for over 25 years now in order to be less reliant on glasses and contact lenses. -Dr Long
Where I get from india
Thank you for reaching out. I wish I could help, but I have no contacts in India. Search "low vision care" in your area and hopefully you can find someone. Regards, Dr. Long
Hello doctor my name is kabeer.sir I had tumor in my eyes I lost my one eye completely and my other eye has low vision I can read books,I don't have problem in writing as well but the thing is I cannot read text far away from me and also I want to drive plz help me about my problem
I'm glad you reached out. I can help you if you can make an appointment to see me. If unable, please search for "low vision doctors" near you. Best regards, Dr. Long
@@midwestlowvisiondr.jarrodl8904 dr I just wanted to know aren't there any telescopic eyewear which is designed like normal glasses?I feel pretty awkward to wear them in my classroom or anywgare else
@@ak-cn1ve unfortunately, there are not. By design, an optical telescope must have at least 2 lenses separated by a certain distance in order to magnify and help vision. Some designs are miniature and more discreet, but your field of vision will be reduced.
@@midwestlowvisiondr.jarrodl8904 okay dr.i understood
@@midwestlowvisiondr.jarrodl8904 dr if you could recommend me a low vision specialist in india it would be helpful for me
Is there anyone in or near cincinnati ohio that coukd help with wet macular degeneration and glaucoma?
Yes, there should be several medical eye doctors to choose from. As far as low vision care, Midwest Low Vision is only a couple hours away if you are having functional vision issues. Best of luck! Thank you.
@midwestlowvisiondr.jarrodl8904 ok. Thank you. Will check, or set an appointment to come there.

Hello, Dr my son is 1 and half years old he had a very low vision by birth +9 in both eyes. does the lens work at him plz reply 😭😭
Thank you for your question. Telescopic lenses would probably not be appropriate at that young age. However, he should continue to be monitored regularly, particularly for eye health and to measure for any high "regular" glasses prescription. --Dr. Long
Thanks for your reply Dr Long I have many questions regarding his eye health.
He will be able to see clearly with such a high number? Because he has very little eye contact, see the sun directly and press his eyes frequently.
@@marziaabbas4913 That is a difficult situation and I wish you the best in getting him the help he needs. Unless I see him as a patient, I cannot give accurate medical advice about treatment. Thank you again, Dr. Long
Bummer that their vision is basically shot to Hell (very grim). Awesome that they now can fully utilize what precious little still remains. Cheers!
