Low Vision Assessment
Dr. Shelley Martel provides Low Vision Assessments to our visually impaired patients. This examination involves identifying the eye disease causing the visual disability and determining the patient’s visual expectations and needs. A wide variety of visual aids are demonstrated, all dependent on what the patient is trying to achieve. Some visual aids include high powered reading glasses, tinted filters for glare/ light control, illuminated and non illuminated hand and stand magnifiers, and hand held computerized magnifiers to name a few. Dr. Martel is a registered authorizer and vendor for ADP (Assistive Devices Program) which is a government run initiative to financially assist low vision patients in purchasing sight enhancing devices. Unfortunately, OHIP does not cover the cost of the Low Vision Assessment.
