The Lighthouse of Houston: A Vision of Support and Empowerment

The Lighthouse of Houston stands as a pillar of hope for those who are blind or low vision, offering a beacon of support through its advanced Low Vision Clinic. This facility is a cornerstone of the organization's efforts to empower individuals with impaired vision, providing them with essential resources and care.

The clinic is staffed by top-tier, highly qualified optometrists who ensure that clients receive the utmost quality of care. It is one of the few clinics in the Houston area specializing in low vision, offering a comprehensive range of services. These include thorough low vision examinations and personalized rehabilitation exercises, all aimed at helping clients achieve their fullest potential.

Dr. Kia Eldred-McGee, a Low Vision Diplomate and Optometrist at The Lighthouse, emphasizes the clinic's patient-centered approach: "When we see patients, we ask them their goals. We really try to be specific about what it is they want to do; do they love reading, do they like watching TV, do they want to go back to driving, is walking around unsafe for them? So, we actually specifically look at what tasks they want to do.”

The Lighthouse's mission is to enable and empower those who are blind or have low vision to realize their full potential. The Low Vision Clinic embodies this mission, providing targeted, task-specific support that aligns with the individual aspirations and needs of its clients. It's not just about vision—it's about enabling a life of independence and fulfillment.
