Dr. Dulce Walker, a Low Vision eye doctor, is passionate about helping people in New Mexico recover their day to day functioning. Too many patients leave their ophthalmologist or retinologist thinking there is nothing left to be done but manage the disease to prevent further vision loss. Her goal is to help you do the things you want to do.

For many people, proper use of a Low Vision device means being able to read, drive, sew, play cards, watch television, and use the computer—all of which would be impossible without these Low Vision Aids. At the Low Vision of New Mexico, Dr. Walker can help patients from Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Las Cruces, Los Alamos and the entire state of New Mexico to enjoy life after vision loss with Low Vision Aids, glasses, and devices.

Transitioning to a lifestyle of dependency is traumatic both for the person with low vision, as well as their families.
