Sue's Story

With macular degeneration in both eyes, Sue continues to live her life independently. Rather than waiting for changes to impact her daily life, she has chosen to stay ahead of her vision needs.

Planning Ahead for Long-Term Independence

She has visited Vision Forward twice for low vision evaluations with Dr. Hinson, focusing not only on her current vision but also on what lies ahead. Sue’s goal is clear: to ensure she has the best possible tools, prescriptions, and strategies in place to maintain her independence and productivity.

Exploring Tools and Technology

During her visits, Sue explored updated technology, reviewed her eyeglass prescription, and learned about adaptive tools designed to maximize her remaining vision. While she is currently able to rely on her right eye, she found reassurance in knowing that magnification and other tools can continue to support her if her vision changes in the future.

Personalized Care and Support

What stood out most to Sue was the time and care taken by the Vision Forward team. She shared how much she appreciates having her questions fully answered and her prognosis clearly explained—empowering her to make informed decisions about her care.

A Story of Independence and Empowerment

Sue’s story is a powerful reminder that vision loss does not have to mean a loss of independence. With proactive care, personalized support, and access to the right tools, individuals like Sue can continue to live full, productive lives.
