If you or a loved one are now having problems seeing and doing the things you have enjoyed, Dr. W. Jarrod Long, OD, FIALVS can help. If you have been told by your eye doctor that a change in your eyeglass prescription will not help you see any better, call Dr. Long who is trained to design special glasses that can make a difference.

However, Dr. Long explains that he has “always felt very comfortable caring for the elderly and others with low vision.” Dr. Long received his Bachelor’s and Doctor of Optometry degree from Indiana University and completed residency training in ocular disease at the Hudson Valley Veteran’s Hospital in New York. While in New York, he received comprehensive Low Vision Certification via training at the Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired. Since 1997, Dr. Long and his wife, Angela Long, O.D., have practiced at Long Family Eye Care in Bloomington, Indiana. Dr. Long has specialized in low vision since that time and has lectured extensively on low vision topics. He has been on staff at the I.U. School of Optometry and proctored students for general and low vision examinations. Over the past twenty years, Dr. Long has opened the Vision Aid Center inside Long Family Eye Care, he has trained with renowned Low Vision Diplomat, Richard Shuldiner, O.D., F.A.A.O., and he is now recognized as one of a select few Fellows in the International Academy of Low Vision Specialists. In 2006, Dr. Long formed Midwest Low Vision to help reach more patients, who now have several satellite locations throughout Indiana from which to choose.
