Seminars at Hadley Presents: Eccentric Viewing

Date: Thursday, July 23, 2015

Time: 10:00 AM CDT, 15:00 GMT

Do you have macular degeneration? Are you having difficulty reading? When an eye condition such as macular degeneration progresses to the point where the “blind spot” or scotoma in your central vision makes reading as you used to do difficult, it may be time to learn about “Eccentric Viewing.”

Join Seminars at Hadley as Nancy Parkin-Bashizi, vision rehabilitation therapist and orientation and mobility specialist, provides an overview of the eccentric viewing technique. This webinar will explain the process for locating one’s sweet spot of usable vision and discuss potential challenges to this process. We will then explore how to learn to use the “sweet spot” for reading, working on new strategies to make reading in this manner a little more comfortable. Come join us and learn to see in a new way!

Doug Anzlovar, vice president of education & training, will moderate this 60-minute seminar. A question and answer session will be included as part of the seminar.
