Your Local Optometrist & Private Practice in Central California
When your medical eye doctor says, “nothing more can be done,” contact a low vision optometrist. Dr. Bock Low Vision is one of over 40 optometrist practices in North America that has helped thousands of low vision patients live independent, fulfilling lives after others told them it wouldn’t be possible.
Thanks to the doctor’s knowledge, dedication, and experience, patients can do what they enjoy: drive, read, work, play, cook, or recognize people’s faces.
Call for a personal consultation and find out if you are a candidate for low vision glasses.
Our goal is for you to reclaim the ability to carry out tasks that are important to you. Such an activity could be driving a car, reading the paper, recognizing faces, watching TV, playing cards or board games, cooking, and anything that matters in your life.
As a member of the International Academy of Low Vision Specialists (IALVS) – a network of low vision optometrists – Dr. Bock intensively studied low vision care. We are committed to maximizing our patients’ vision and helping them live their best lives.
