Dr. Kinkade works with his
patient’s goals whether that is reading the newspaper or
music, working with puzzles, or viewing the computer.
As he says, “We do not know if we do not try”.
Dr. Kinkade states, “I find it difficult to
understand when doctors tell their patients nothing more can
be done for their vision.
This may be true from a medical and regular eyeglass
point of view, but certainly not when you are talking about
low vision rehabilitation.”

Dr. Kinkade
treats those who have lost some of their vision. You are not alone. One in every 20 Americans has low vision and the number is increasing.
Low vision means that you have difficulty seeing and your eyesight cannot be corrected with regular glasses, surgery or medication. The good news is the majority of people with low vision have useable eyesight. Dr. Kinkade prescribes custom vision-enhancing glasses. These glasses include high power lenses, prismatic and compound reading lenses, and miniature spectacle-mounted telescopes. A portion of the evaluation may be covered by insurance. The cost
of the vision-enhancing glasses is between $475 and $2,500 depending on your needs. He travels extensively treating patients and often lectures on the
newest options for enhancing eyesight for those with reduced vision. Dr. Kinkade treats patients at the Advance Low Vision Solution Center at Vision Dynamics in Cheshire, CT. In addition to his multiple Connecticut practices he treats patients in Massachusetts, and New York. Please call (800) 756-0766 to see if you or someone you know can benefit from
his services. He welcomes the opportunity to speak to your personally
before making an appointment.
Rehabilitation outcomes vary depending on the level of your vision loss, the visual demands of your goals, and your adaptability. If you are motivated to learn new ways of seeing then we can help.
