Seeing the Possibilities: Low Vision Program For Safety, Independence at Home

Our eyesight plays an essential role in how we experience the world, helping us stay active, connected and independent. When vision loss occurs, it can make once-simple activities like reading mail, cooking or moving safely around the home more difficult.

Understanding Vision Care and Low Vision Support

The effects of low vision reach far beyond eyesight. They can impact balance, confidence and even emotional wellbeing. Individuals living with reduced vision often face increased risks of falls, accidents and isolation, which can lead to further health complications.

Elara Caring’s Eye Care We Care program is designed to change that. This low vision rehabilitation program focuses on improving function, safety and quality of life through hands-on education and personalized care.

Our occupational therapists work directly with patients to help them use their remaining vision more effectively. They teach techniques and introduce adaptive equipment that makes it easier to perform daily activities, navigate safely and maintain independence, all within the comfort of home.

How the Eye Care We Care Program Helps

The program goes beyond treatment—it’s about empowering patients to live with confidence.

• Education and Training: Patients learn strategies to work around visual limitations and adapt their environments for safety.
• Interactive Tools: Workbooks, action plans and a patient guide help support progress.
• Emotional Support: Compassionate care helps reduce anxiety and promotes confidence.
• 24/7/365 Availability: Our team is always accessible for guidance, reassurance and early intervention to prevent crises.

With Eye Care We Care, patients don’t just receive clinical help, they gain a partner in maintaining independence and improving everyday life.
