Frequently Asked Questions About Low Vision Therapy in Dane County
Q: What does a low vision occupational therapist actually do inside a home?A
We do not prescribe glasses or change your medical diagnosis. Instead, we alter how your brain and remaining vision interact with your environment. We perform a comprehensive audit of your Madison home’s lighting, introduce tactile and high-contrast adaptations to your stove and appliances, teach eccentric viewing techniques to bypass blind spots, and train you on adaptive technology so you can confidently manage your pills, dial your phone, and cook safely.
Q: My ophthalmologist at UW Health said my vision cannot be corrected further. Can Rachel still help me?
Yes. In fact, that is exactly when our work begins. When medical interventions hit a wall, occupational therapy steps in to bridge the gap. We focus entirely on functional adaptation. We partner with local Dane County seniors to ensure that stable or progressive vision loss does not result in a loss of independence or a forced move to an assisted living facility.
