Maintain Your Independence with The Iris Network Low Vision Center
Visits made by appointment – Call (207) 774-6273 TODAY!

As we age, our eyesight may not remain as sharp as it once was. Activities we love—reading the morning paper, viewing family photos, recognizing the smiling faces of our loved ones, and even enjoying a good book—may gradually or suddenly become challenging. If you find yourself or someone you care about struggling with these simple pleasures due to vision limitations, there is hope and help is available.

At The Iris Network Low Vision Center, we understand the profound impact vision loss can have on your independence and overall quality of life. Vision changes shouldn’t have to lead to giving up your hobbies or daily routines. That’s why we’re dedicated to helping those with low vision, a condition that traditional glasses, contact lenses, medicine, or surgery cannot fully correct.

We Offer…
Personalized Assessments: Discover adaptive devices and techniques tailored to your specific needs.
Demonstrations and Guidance: Learn how to utilize adaptive devices (from magnifiers to talking pill bottles) that can assist in your daily activities.
Home and Workplace Solutions: Get recommendations on lighting, glare reduction, and more to create a comfortable environment for your eyes.

Our services are tailored for individuals who are experiencing significant vision changes, especially among our elder community members.

Ready to Take the Next Step?
Your vision challenges shouldn’t have to limit your joy and ability to engage in life fully. If you’re having trouble with activities you once loved, it’s time to reach out. Let The Iris Network Low Vision Center be your partner in navigating these changes and exploring solutions that work for you. Our dedicated team is eager to assist and empower you to achieve your maximum level of independence.
