Low Vision Support

Duane Reide, 81 of Dunnellon, FL saw Dr. Huggett last June.

"I couldn't see the stop signs or read the street signs like I wanted to. I knew there had to be something to help me!

Well there is; Dr. Huggett fit him with bioptic telescope glasses. "It is like starting life over again!" "This opens up a new perspective on life."

-Duane Reide

Mr. Reide can now see much better in the distance for driving. Dr. Huggett also provided Mr. Reide a reading telescope for reading.
