  • Title: Modification of common low vision devices for uncommon needs.
    Author: Waiss B, Cohen JM.
    Journal: J Am Optom Assoc; 1991 Jan; 62(1):65-8. PubMed ID: 1813495.
    Abstract:
    Creativity in the field of low vision is certainly a necessary requisite when trying to solve a patient's individual needs. Four different categories of low vision devices--hand magnifier, stand magnifier, telescope, and absorptive lens--were modified initially to meet a particular patient's requirement(s). The devices modified were: 1) a +28 aspheric hand magnifier; 2) a magnetized stand magnifier to assist patients in stabilizing a stand magnifier; 3) a focusable telescope held on a gooseneck stand; and 4) a flip-up frame for the Corning CPF series of lenses. These modifications could be of benefit to other patients.
