Under the leadership of Dr. Kunle Oluwadare, our practice is committed to helping you preserve your visual abilities and maintain your independence. Our services are specifically designed for patients whose vision cannot be fully corrected with standard glasses, contact lenses, or medical treatments. Through structured assessments and customized treatment plans, we work to enhance your visual capabilities and improve your quality of life.
Understanding Low Vision
Low vision refers to a degree of visual impairment that affects daily activities and requires more than standard treatments such as eyeglasses or medication. People with low vision may experience blurred vision, reduced central or peripheral vision, or challenges with facial recognition and reading.
This condition can stem from age-related changes, eye injuries, or underlying medical conditions. While low vision is not complete blindness, it can make living independently more difficult. With the right professional support, you can learn to manage these changes and continue performing the activities you love.
Goals of Low Vision Care
At Eyewatch Eye Care and Associates, our low vision program focuses on maximizing your remaining sight rather than simply aiming for "standard" vision levels. Our objective is to help you use every available visual resource to stay active and engaged.
Our main treatment goals include:
- Improving your ability to read, write, and use digital devices.
- Enhancing spatial perception and your ability to move safely through your environment.
- Boosting personal and professional independence.
- Reducing visual strain and daily discomfort.
- Providing resources to help you adjust to your vision changes with confidence.
Dr. Kunle Oluwadare provides personalized solutions tailored specifically to your unique vision profile and daily routine.
Comprehensive Low Vision Evaluation
A low vision evaluation is far more extensive than a standard eye test. We evaluate both your visual acuity and the specific ways your impairment affects your day-to-day life.
Our detailed examination process includes:
- A thorough review of your medical and vision history.
- Measurement of visual acuity at various distances.
- Assessment of contrast sensitivity and depth perception.
- Evaluation of peripheral vision and your total visual field.
- An analysis of how your vision impacts your specific daily tasks.

Your customized plan may include:

- Guidance on organizing your living and work areas for better accessibility.
Visual Aids and Assistive Devices
The right tools can make tasks that once seemed impossible feel manageable again. We offer a variety of assistive devices to help you regain control over your daily activities.
Commonly recommended aids include:

- Large-print resources for easier comprehension.
- Electronic magnifiers that enhance text and digital images.
- Hands-free systems for convenience during tasks.
