Low Vision

Optelec was established in 1985 with a goal to develop a low vision video magnifiers for the millions of visually impaired people in the USA and Canada. The success achieved over the past years resulted in Optelec being acquired in 1997 by the Tieman Group, based in Holland. Tieman is a manufacturer and distributor of video magnifiers and Braille products. Today, through its holdings of Optelec, Optelec Canada, and HumanWare (another affiliate which distributes Tieman products in the USA), Tieman is the worldwide leader in the specialized market of products for the visually impaired.

Macular Degeneration

The Tieman Group and Optelec are committed to providing product solutions of the highest quality macular degeneration needs of consumers with non-correctable vision impairments. We aim to help them improve their daily lives and maintain their independence and productivity.

Magnifier

Those people who have been diabetic for may years are most likely to develop diabetic retinopathy, but this eye disease is a threat for all individuals with diabetes. Among patients with juvenile-onset diabetes, 24 percent will have a magnifier 5 years; almost 60 percent after 10 years; and 80 percent after 15 years.

Video Magnifier

Additionally, other conditions brought on by diabetes, such as cataracts and glaucoma, are especially threatening. Patients should also be encouraged to control their blood pressure, and use a video magnifier for vision.

Catataracts

Early diagnosis is the best defense against cataracts, see your doctor today.

Glaucoma

Early diagnosis of glaucoma and the effective control of blood sugar levels and hypertension increase the chance of controlling this eye disease. All diabetic patients should have regular, comprehensive eye examinations through a dilated pupil even before any vision problems appear.

Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetic retinopathy causes blood vessels to swell or bulge; to rupture and leak; and resultant scar tissue shrinks the vitreous and pulls the retina, tearing or detaching it.
