The Spectrios Institute for Low Vision (formerly the Deicke Center for Visual Rehabilitation) offers a comprehensive low vision program for people with vision loss. The Spectrios Institute's success is due to a comprehensive program of visual rehabilitation and a highly qualified and caring staff. The program includes:

• A rehabilitation counselor who assists each patient to understand their eye condition, to set visual goals and learn coping techniques.
• An evaluation by a low vision rehabilitation doctor, who determines the amount of useable sight a person has, prescribes appropriate optical devices, and develop their individual rehabilitation plan.
• A certified vision rehabilitation therapist who instructs each patient in the use of the prescribed devices and daily living skills.
• As part of the Spectrios program, every patient visits Eye Tec, the Spectrios program of high technology, where computer systems, talking devices and electronic reading machines are available for demonstration and training.
• Information on safe movement, mobility, and techniques used to walk independently are shared with each person.
