What
does VRA do?
VRA helps your visually impaired patients in your office. One of
our low vision optometrists visits your practice at regular intervals
to evaluate patients you have scheduled. We develop a treatment
plan and recommend assistive devices, based on the VRA Low Vision
Evaluation Protocol.
Who sees my patients?
Your patients are seen by VRA’s highly qualified low vision
optometrists (OD) and occupational therapists (OT), who are extensively
trained in low vision care. Their knowledge is continuously updated
by the VRA Advisory Board. Our optometrists are objective and manufacturer-independent
when recommending treatment plans and devices.
How are my patients evaluated?
VRA optometrists base their treatment plan and device recommendations
on:
- Pathology and visual performance
- Patient’s daily challenges and desires
- Patient’s mobility, agility, acceptance, and apprehension
- Demonstration of various devices to identify features and
benefits
Where are assistive devices made?
Optical devices are made to prescription at VRA’s partner
labs in the USA and Europe. Electronic and other devices are sourced
worldwide and shipped directly from our distribution center. Device
delivery and training are done in the patient’s home or at
the practice by one of our our optometrists or occupational therapists.
How do I know my patients are satisfied?
VRA will contact your patients after three weeks to ensure satisfaction
and assess device performance. If necessary, adjustments are made
or an alternate device is recommended.
Who answers my patients’ questions?
Via the VRA toll-free number, your patients have access to the VRA
Help Desk for questions, technical support, and appointment scheduling.
How much does the VRA service cost?
Our service is free. In fact we will compensate you for office space,
use of equipment and staff time.
