PRODUCT OF THE MONTH
Have You Tried the RidoMED Binocular Galilean Telescope System for Near Viewing?
Eschenbach’s RidoMED Binocular Galilean Telescope System (1636) provides a bright viewing image in a sturdy, adaptable frame. The RidoMED is designed for near viewing tasks such as reading and doing crafts.
Available in 3 powers (2.5x, 3x and 4x magnification), the glass coated lenses are of an achromatic design which corrects for any chromatic aberration. In addition, the RidoMED Telescope System has focusable lenses which allows for compensation of spherical error (+/-5D). The frame also allows you to adjust the pupillary distance from 54 to 74mm and features glass fiber reinforced cold-bend temples on the 3x and 4x frames. The RidoMED can be prescription corrected for spherical and cylindrical refractive errors. Ask your Territory Manager for details or call to order!

Passing of Low Vision Luminary Eleanor Faye, MD
Eschenbach joins others in mourning the loss of a pioneer and leader who transformed the field of low vision. Eleanor Faye, MD, passed away on January 7, 2020 at the age of 96. She was an ophthalmologist who was an accomplished practitioner, frequent national and international lecturer and gifted author who wrote numerous books with her 1984 work, Clinical Low Vision, remaining a classic book on low vision. She had a distinguished career of over 60 years at the Lighthouse Guild in New York where she had many roles culminating in her position as the Director of Low Vision Services. She also received many prestigious awards during her career including ones from the American Academy of Ophthalmology and the American Optometric Association, among others. Importantly, she was instrumental in bringing together ophthalmologists and optometrists involved in the practice of low vision so that they could work together as a team dedicated to helping those with vision loss.
