WELCOME - Learn What We're About
Spectrios Institute for Low Vision, formerly Deicke Center for Visual Rehabilitation, is dedicated to helping individuals with low vision lead full and productive lives. Vision loss from macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and other conditions affects millions of Americans each year and can be a devastating diagnosis that impacts more than your ability to see. We have developed a comprehensive approach that treats each aspect of the affect vision loss has on your life:
Your HeadWe educate you to help you learn more about your condition. We help you understand what can be done to better use your sight and to know more clearly what is possible. We teach you about the changes you can make to improve your ability to see with the sight you have.
Your HeartWe know from the experience of working with thousands of clients the loss people feel when their vision can no longer be completely corrected. We help relieve the anger, frustration, and hopelessness that often follow a diagnosis of vision loss.
Your EyesOur nationally recognized team of professionals has over 100 years of combined experience in diagnosing and treating people with permanent vision loss. We are a teaching and research institution as well as a provider of low vision care. We therefore have access to the latest diagnostic technology and the ability to apply the newest prescriptive devices for treating your vision loss.
The full spectrum of care treating the trio of head, heart, and eyes is what Spectrios Institute for Low Vision is all about. We can help you find the right vision aiding devices and the latest technologies to maximize vision to not only see better, but also to live a more independent life. At Spectrios Institute we provide hope--supported by science--to people with vision loss.
