Focus on Low Vision

Dr. Schoenbart is a member of the International Academy of Low Vision Specialists (IALVS). IALVS trained doctors bring new hope and sight to those with macular degeneration and other vision limiting conditions. Dr. Schoenbart believes in LIFE AFTER VISION LOSS.

Focus on Eye Glasses

Making a decision about your eyewear goes beyond good vision and makes a statement about who you are. Our staff will help you find the best fit for your specific needs and explain how different lenses and frames will impact your vision.
