Common Low Vision Symptoms

Want to Read, Drive, & Do Life on Your Terms Again? 

You don’t have to be completely blind for vision loss to affect your life. If you’ve started avoiding things you once loved, we can help! Our low vision doctor works with people who are: 

  • Struggling to read menus or books—even with glasses 
  • Bumping into objects or feeling disoriented 
  • Having trouble watching TV or recognizing faces 
  • Feeling glare, light sensitivity, or washed-out vision 
  • No longer confident driving—especially at night or in bright sunlight 
  • Frustrated by visual fatigue or headaches 
  • Feeling increasingly dependent on others for things they used to do themselves 

If any of this feels familiar, you’re not alone, and you’re not out of options. Beyond Low Vision can help you take the vision you still have and make the most of it.

Vision Services That Support Daily Life 

Every service we offer is designed to help you live more independently with the vision you still have. We don’t just prescribe glasses. We provide personalized, hands-on solutions that support the way you want to live. 

From advanced low vision aids like magnifiers, telescopic glasses, and glare-reducing filters, to in-depth evaluations for reading, driving, and mobility challenges, our care is focused on function and long-term confidence.

We also offer binocular vision support, in-home visits, and neurological vision care for stroke and brain injury survivors. Here, your care plan is always built around you.

Care for Life After Stroke or Brain Injury 

When vision changes after a stroke, brain injury, or aneurysm, it can leave patients feeling disoriented, anxious, and unsure where to turn. Often, they’re told their eyes are “fine”, but they know something isn’t right. 

We specialize in helping patients who’ve lost part of their visual field, struggle with tracking or double vision, or feel overwhelmed by glare, movement, or screens. Dr. Jacobi provides personalized care that’s focused on regaining function, whether that means reading again, walking safely, or simply making sense of the world around you.

Tools to Improve Eye Alignment

Binocular Vision Support for Focus, Balance, & Comfort 

When your eyes stop working together the way they should, you may notice double vision, dizziness, trouble reading, or a constant sense of visual fatigue. Some patients struggle with depth perception, balance, or coordination. This is often caused by binocular vision dysfunction, a condition where the eyes aren’t aligning or coordinating properly. 

Dr. Jacobi offers personalized evaluations and non-invasive tools, like prism lenses or hands-free reading aids, to help reduce strain, improve comfort, and make everyday tasks feel easier again.

Low Vision Aids That Work in Real Life 

Our Novi eye clinic offers a wide range of low vision aids designed to help you read, move safely, drive, use a computer, or simply enjoy daily life with more ease. These tools aren’t one-size-fits-all. They’re carefully chosen and tested with you during your evaluation. 

From hands-free magnifiers and telescopic glasses to prismatic readers, glare-reducing filters, and digital video magnifiers, every device we prescribe is focused on function.
