" I was told nothing more could be done, but I wasn't willing to accept that. I thought that surely, there must be something more I can do. Dr. Rummel designed special low vision glasses for me that increased my side vision , thus reducing my dependence on my seeing-eye dog." Joel Cohen



For approximately sixteen years I went to numerous retina specialists who offered no hope. At one point I was told I couldn't drive anymore. While I was taking my daughter for a visual exam with Dr. Rummel, I happened to mention that I had low vision. I explained the difficulties that I have and live with every day. I was used to seeing things a certain way and therefore, what was abnormal to other became normal to me. Dr. Rummel then told me that he could help me to see much better. When testing different lenses, he placed me in everyday situations, and much to my surprise, I was able to see clearly. I am looking forward to being able to see other drivers when I am driving my car and not having to worry if it is my turn to proceed at a stop sign. I am also looking forward to reading with my daughter without having to struggle to read the words and remember what I just read. I will feel safer crossing the street and being able to see my daughter while she is playing in the school yard. Thanks Dr. Rummel, I will be able to live my life enjoying the things I once could not. Sincerely, Margaret Russo

I believe that in life any improvement is good, however these special glasses are a significant improvement in many ways. I can see someone's face and expressions when· taking to them; it makes me feel more comfortable. I can see things in my garden and even television looks better. Stephen Czik 5/29/09
