Helping people overcome visual
limitations is the goal of Western Kansas Low Vision Foundation.
Dr. Robert Hoch and Dr. Dawn Williams
are optometrists who specialize in low vision care, evaluate the
degree of usable vision, and prescribe the most advanced optical
devices available. Prescriptions for glasses are also
available through this examination.
Tara Keesling is a low vision technician who works with individuals
to help them adapt to these new devices. You can also make an
appointment with Tara for personal instruction on optical devices
before your examination with the doctor.
Low vision
appointments are made through Fry Eye Associates. The
examination with Dr. Hoch or Dr. Williams will take approximately
one hour followed by approximately one hour with Tara working with
magnifiers and other low vision aids.
Western Kansas Low
Vision Support Group is open to any individual who has low
vision. The meetings are informative, often with guest
speakers or with hands-on demonstrations of devices. Many
people feel better after coming to a low vision meeting, just from
the knowledge that they are "not alone" in their low vision
problems, and find much support and help from others in the group.
Meetings are on a
Thursday every month, start at 3:00 PM and are held at the Finney
County Senior Center, 907 North 10th Street, Garden City, KS 67846.

These meetings are incorporated with the International Low Vision
Support Group with live Audio Visual Internet Conferencing.
