Living with a Vision Impairment

According to the latest report from the Vision Council, over 39 million Americans are currently suffering from severe vision impairment. What’s more, it is estimated that by 2030, that number will have risen to 63 million. Sadly, this latest report also suggests that only about 20 percent of adults suffering from severe vision impairment are currently using devices that could help them maintain daily activities.

If you are currently experiencing any changes in your vision, please call the Dallas office of Brooks Eye Associates at (972) 736-9347 to schedule an appointment today.
