The Low Vision Centers of North Carolina Expands to Biltmore Park, Asheville to Serve People with Low Vision
"Many have heard that nothing more can be done when, in fact, there are prescription glasses that many other vision doctors do not offer," said Dr. Ed Paul, Ph.D., OD, Founder and Medical Director of The Low Vision Centers of North Carolina. "Our unique training as low vision eye doctors allows us to provide the highest quality visual, optical, and rehabilitative solutions for our patients, with the goal of improving their independence and quality of life."
The new office is led by Dr. Casey Krug, OD, FAAO, who specializes in low vision optometry. Dr. Casey Krug works with patients to understand the activities they would like to do again, such as watching TV, driving, reading, and their favorite hobbies. She performs a specific type of office exam that uses a larger vision chart to determine what devices, most likely a pair of glasses, can aid them in doing those things again. The glasses typically involve extra high magnification telescopes or prisms.
"We strive to keep informed and updated on all treatment and rehabilitative strategies that may improve the well-being and visual status of those we are privileged to serve," said Dr. Casey Krug. "Our goal is to help our patients regain their independence and improve their quality of life."
The Low Vision Centers of North Carolina also has successful and fully-staffed offices in Wilmington and Charlotte.
