Our Low Vision Optometrist

our eye doctorDr. David YESnick, O.D., is passionate about helping people with low vision. Along with his wife Sandy, Nevada’s only board certified low vision therapist, they have brought joy to the lives of countless people experiencing the difficulty of living with low vision and vision impairment. Dr. David and Sandy YESnick have been at the forefront of fighting for the rights of people with low vision and have started a non profit to assist those who can not afford low vision care.

Dr. YESnick says “Many of our patients come in from all over the country and the world having been told there was nothing that could be done. They felt that their lives as they had known it was done, computers, driving, work, mobility were no longer a viable option. With so many advances in technology, we are able to offer our patients the ability to live life with dignity, mobility and productivity that was only a dream before. We are truly blessed to be at the forefront of treatment for low vision, and to bring so much joy to our patients.”

What Is Your Low Vision Evaluation?

The Low Vision evaluation consists of three steps:

one-circle
Find out the amount of vision the patient has.
two-circle
Find out the amount of vision needed to do the task desired.
three-circle
Figure out the best magnification device that allows the person to do the task.
We find out the amount of vision the patient has by performing a low vision evaluation. It is not anything like a regular eye exam:
  • We use special charts and techniques to ā€œdraw outā€ any residual vision that may be ā€œhidingā€ in the periphery.
  • We recheck the regular eyeglass prescription to improve it if possible.
  • We see how magnification affects the level of vision.
We find out the amount of vision needed to do the task desired with very specific questions and demonstrations.
  • We ask the patient to bring samples of print they want to see (kindles, stock market pages, newspaperā€¦).
  • We ask the patient to bring samples of activities they do (needlework, playing cardsā€¦).

We figure out the best magnification device that allows the person to do the task by having many unique demonstrators in the office.

We do not order any low vision device unless we prove that it works in the office first.

People come from near and far to see Dr. YESnick learn more on why it is worth to travel for Low Vision care.

We also serve the neighboring communities of North Las Vegas, Nellis, Lake Las Vegas, and Boulder City.
