Community Services for Vision Rehabilitation
Community Services for Vision Rehabilitation
CSVR is a non-profit 501c3 medical clinic with a community-based board of directors. Represented are, in addition to community leaders and organizers, individuals with vision loss and others active in the health care field. We see people with any eye condition, of any age, regardless of economic status. We are highly accessible and responsive. We believe that we can provide help and assistance to almost all with low vision and make every possible effort to do so.
Our Mission
To provide accessible, modern, comprehensive, compassionate and multidisciplinary care to those with vision loss or blindness.
What We Do
CSVR provides a comprehensive, multidisciplinary evaluation to all patients. This includes an initial comprehensive and thorough evaluation of visual function by a M.D. or O.D. This initial evaluation includes determination of visual acuity, a timed reading test of function and acuity, determination of contrast sensitivity and a visual field evaluation. The initial interview helps define the patient's goals and helps in planning strategies to reach those individual goals. Following the initial evaluation, the doctor may then recommend further training by an Occupational Therapist, a trial of one or more of the many aids and devices available or refer the patient to an appropriate resource or agency.
