  • Dr. Bauder has a passion for helping all people see better, including those with low vision.  Nothing is as rewarding as giving someone the ability to see and function when they were hopeless.  Low vision examinations are for those with moderate to severe vision impairments that cannot be improved by traditional methods of glasses and contact lenses.  The exam focuses on the patient's activities of daily living and struggles that their vision loss brings.  After a short vision assessment, Dr. Bauder demonstrates many different optical devices and allows the patient to find the style that best suits his or her unique needs.
