Top 5 Questions to Ask your Low Vision Doctor
Midwest Low Vision is located inside Long Family Eye Care at 660 South College Avenue in Bloomington, Indiana. Dr. Jarrod Long founded Midwest Low Vision and has practiced low vision as a specialty since 1997. They now have satellite locations throughout south-central Indiana.
Our low vision patients typically have dry macular degeneration, wet macular degeneration, Stargardt macular dystrophy (a.k.a., Stargardt's or Stargardt disease), diabetic retinopathy, traumatic brain injury (TBI), albinism (including ocular albinism), glaucoma, optic neuropathy, brain stroke, and many other vision-limiting conditions.
Not all of our patients are legally blind. Many are partially-sighted, have lost their peripheral vision (tunnel vision, hemianopsia, hemianopia), or even have near normal vision. In the latter case, they may simply need strong reading glasses, strong bifocals, or prismatic reading glasses...special glasses just beyond what most eye doctors would normally prescribe.

      The non-prescription, simple ones are better than nothing. But, the high-quality, prescription-style that low vision doctors order are the best. They have your exact prescription for the exact distance(s) you require and they possess the best quality optics in the world. However, because the prescription ones are much more expensive, it can come down to what you are willing to pay for the best TV vision possible.

    I hope this message finds you well. My name is Abbas Ismail, and I am writing to you from Zaria, Kaduna State. I work as an admin assistant at the Distance Learning Centre, Ahmadu Bello University. I am visually impaired and have very low vision, which significantly impacts my ability to read writings on paper, even with reading glasses. Currently, the only way I can manage to read is by taking pictures of documents with my phone and zooming in on them. This workaround is far from ideal and has become increasingly challenging and psychologically taxing. I am reaching out to you to request any assistance or recommendations you may have to help improve my situation. Any support, whether technological or otherwise, would be greatly appreciated and would make a substantial difference in both my professional and personal life.

We haven't measured it actually but approximately if you take nose as the normal line, he has 30 degrees on both sides making it up to 45 or 60 degress i think.
