Paul Thomson (optometrist) assessing Elaine for a Low Vision Aid

When glasses no longer help you to see and read what you want to, a Low Vision Aid (LVA) may be able to help. At MertonVision we aim to maximise the vision that you have, using a range of LVA's e.g. magnifiers, telescopes etc

We hold a LVA assessment session on the first Tuesday of the month. A Rehabilitation Officer trained in Low Vision will talk with you to identify what help you need.   A specially trained and qualified Optician will measure your vision and how well you see contrast (faintness).  Using this information we will aim to maximise your vision using an LVA.  We will teach you how to use the LVA and how to make the most of your vision.

To arrange an LVA assessment contact us at Merton Vision to schedule an appointment. This service is free to you (funded by NHS) and any LVA's that are issued are on a permanent loan basis for as long as they are useful to you.

If you or anyone you know would like to benefit from this service please contact us. 020 8540 5446
