Low vision rehabilitation enables people to resume roles and activities they have abandoned due to vision loss such as reading a book, shopping, cooking, hobbies, watching TV, computer use, and more. We treat those with a variety of congenital and acquired visual challenges including those with multiple impairments due to advancing age and vision loss from macular degeneration, diabetes, glaucoma, trauma, and neurological disease such as multiple sclerosis, stroke and TBI.

Program Focus

MossRehab provides vision rehabilitation as a specialized outpatient rehabilitation service for those whose primary problem is vision loss. MossRehab also is the only medical rehabilitation facility in the area that provides vision rehabilitation services as part of inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation program where vision impairment is treated along with other conditions and injuries. If you have vision problems due to a stroke or have had a fall resulting from a vision impairment, MossRehab is one of the only facilities that can offer rehabilitation services for all your needs.

• Where possible, we teach patients to use simplest, least expensive visual and non-visual devices (e.g., books-on-tape), help individuals adapt their home and workplaces, and teach individuals to use their remaining vision to accomplish personally meaningful goals.
  • We have fully equipped kitchens and bedrooms for work on activities of daily living.
  • We have adapted games, cards and devices that enable people to resume leisure activities.
• We have the latest in adaptive optical devices as well as computer-based and electronic devices that use a combination of electronic visual enhancements and screen-readers that actually read text aloud to the users. These sophisticated systems enable even those with a severe disability to enjoy a book, use a computer to browse the WEB or read a newspaper.

Expert Staff, Individualized Programs

Our occupational therapist is also a certified low vision therapist and works with Einstein neuro-ophthalmologists, and an optometrist specializing in low vision and other low vision specialists in the area.

Low Vision Rehabilitation often requires individualized programs and one-on-one time spent to learn to use devices, and strategies to compensate for vision loss. Fortunately, because services are provided at Moss, required time spent in therapy is paid by Medicare, Medicaid and most medical insurance companies.

We coordinate our services with other organizations such as the state blind and visual services, the Veteran’s Administration and various state agencies that often help individuals pay for the devices.
