NORMAN
RICHTERMAN
LOW VISION CENTER
Our Norman
Richterman Low Vision Center is located right in our facility
at 174 Court Street in Binghamton. It provides a close,
convenient location where consumers can come to have a
comprehensive low vision eye examination, and to
try out and receive the prescribed devices. Attractively
laid out with a comfortable waiting room and private
consultation rooms, this center is the "main jewel in our
crown!"
Dr. Michael
Lange, who is a licensed optometrist and a certified low
vision specialist, is available at the Center two days each
month. Dr. Lange has many years of highly regarded
service in low vision and has an optometry practice in Greene,
New York.
The low vision
exam room is wheelchair accessible.
Working with
Dr. Lange at our clinic is Diane McMillan, a member of the
A.V.R.E. Program Services staff. Diane is dual-certified
as a low vision therapist and a vision rehabilitation
therapist. This combination, and the ability to access
other certified staff and specialized services at A.V.R.E.,
make our low vision center truly unique.
Diane, or one of our other trained professional staff, will be
on hand to dispense devices prescribed by Dr. Lange and to
work with the patient to immediately start training in their
use. In many cases, the patient can leave that day with
the prescribed device in hand.
The low vision center is named in memory of Norman Richterman,
the son of Harold (Ric) and Anita Richterman. Norman
lived in Binghamton for a number of years. Ric was an
international icon in the vision rehabilitation field, who
knew that a low vision center is one of the cornerstones of
truly comprehensive vision rehabilitation services.
Their bequest to A.V.R.E. for this center is a lasting legacy
that will help us to provide this valuable service for many
years.
