    Hope for the Visually Impaired
    Host of The Wizard of Eyes, Dr. Robert Abel, welcomes guest Bo Smith to share his experience with helping the visually impaired by using low vision therapy.

    Low vision is a general term that refers to a permanent functional vision loss that cannot be corrected by medication, surgery, or glasses.

    If you have low vision, you may experience a wide array of diseases, field defects, and degrees of vision loss.

    Some low vision-causing diseases such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy, may have even taken years to damage the eye.
