What Does "Low Vision" Mean?
Low vision refers to vision loss that can't be corrected with standard glasses, contact lenses or surgery. However, it isn't considered blindness as limited eyesight remains. Symptoms typically include blind spots, poor night vision and blurred vision. Low vision is commonly caused by age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma and diabetes.
Fortunately, people with low vision can continue living full and meaningful lives with the help of low vision aids and devices.

I have been a patient at The Eye Site of Bluffton for several years, and I truly cannot say e... Show Morenough wonderful things about Dr. Jen and her entire staff!
Dr. Jen is absolutely amazing. She is incredibly thorough, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about her patients. I have a family history of macular degeneration. Because of this, I naturally have concerns about my eye health. Dr. Jen has always gone above and beyond to carefully examine my eyes, establish detailed baselines, and monitor even the smallest changes over time.
What I appreciate most is that she never dismisses my concerns. She takes the time to explain everything, answer my questions, and provide reassurance while still being extremely diligent about my eye health. That combination of expertise, compassion, and attention to detail means so much to me.
I also want to recognize her entire staff. Everyone is consistently friendly, welcoming, helpful, and professional. From the moment you walk through the door, you feel genuinely cared for.
It's rare to find a practice where you have such confidence in both the doctor and the entire team. I am so grateful to have found Dr. Jen and The Eye Site of Bluffton and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional eye care!
