Low Vision of New Mexico, PC

My going to Dr walker was a game changer for my vision ! I have lost most vision in my right eye and have about 65% in my left eye. After a through exam she was able to prescribe me some glasses with telescopic ability for distance vision and also incorporating bifocal for reading! At 74 I am still very active and enjoy hiking the trails. With my new glasses I have the ability to check the trail ahead determining my best path or if it is too difficult. Wow what a difference for the better! Plus I can also read my cell phone data very easy without needing to change glasses on the trail ! Thank you Dr walker!!

I was fortunate to find Dr. Dulce Walker who specializes in low vision therapy. I have been pleased with the special instruments provided by her which help me tremendously with my ability to read. Also she provided me with special glasses which have enhanced my vision for television and experience with live theatre.

I lost all vision in my right eye and the lower half of my left eye from NAION. It cannot be treated or cured. This would be tragic at any age but at 78 it is much harder to adapt and overwhelming. It impacts every facet of your life. As my world suddenly became smaller, I sought help in attempting to use every bit of my remaining vision in the most effective way possible. Dr. Walker was the answer to that quest. Dr. Walker did a thorough exam and knew exactly how to help me. The new glasses she prescribed expanded my peripheral vision in my left eye and, incredibly, raised my field of vision up so that I don’t have to bend my head down to see the lower range of vision. I read better and walk more assuredly. If you suffer from any vision loss, please help yourself, family and friends and visit Dr. Walker to explore every avenue to improve your remaining sight to the greatest extent possible.

Dr. Walker availed herself of all potential visual aids--most, if not all, not offered by conventional optometrists--for our mother's macular degeneration. In the end, she prescribed and provided telescopic glasses which enhanced mom's distance vision so that she could enjoy television and discern detail that she hadn't seen in years. She also offered solutions for her near vision which Mom declined only because of her preference of holding reading material in her hands. From start to finish, Dr. Walker was kind, compassionate, patient and diligent. We left knowing that she had done everything she could and had exhausted all possibilities to improve our mother's vision.

I had low vision issues after cataract surgery , that left me with a scotoma (blind spot in one eye that left central acuity diminished. It was difficult to drive and see anything clearly further than 5 feet. Dr. Walker gave me a thorough exam and gave me the best prescription I've ever had. She then prescribed the special telescopic spectacles to help with distance vision. Dr. Walker gave me my independence back to venture out with confidence. I highly recommend her services. Don't suffer in silence. You'd be surprised how her knowledge and experience can make a difference for you! Thank you Dr. Walker. J. Martinez

I have an eye condition which is very difficult to test for driving. Dr. Dulce Walker worked with me and prescribed a pair of glasses which allows me to drive comfortably and safely where otherwise I would not have been able to.

Dr. Walker is amazing! I've been struggling with the prescriptions I've had over the past 5 years to no avail. I felt like I was never going to see clearly again and would just have to live with it. Dr. Walker is very thorough and educated me on the many aspects of vision and the kind of lenses I needed to see well. Albuquerque is very fortunate to have Dr. Walker's knowledge and expertise. As the song says, "I can see clearly now" — what a joy it is to see detail again! Thanks Dr. Walker!!

Dulce Walker was recommended by my retinologist at eye associates. I have had AMD for over five years and tested at 20/100. Dr Walker asked us a bunch of questions and then had me sit down for a refracting. In a very short time she had me at 20/40 with a prescription. I was amazed. I will pick up the glasses on Monday. Also, I found a wonderful "reading machine" called a "Clear Virw GO" and have been reading books and text books for the first time in about 3 years. it's a hi res TV camera, light and screen in a very flexible configuration. This has been the first real improvement I have had since i hooked up a 50" Vizio TV set as a monitor on m y computer. I am very grateful.. .

i've had a real struggle for the past few years with my macular degeneration. my regular optometrist wanted me to talk to Dr. Walker and see if there was anything that she could do to help.. she got me these cool glasses that go over my regular glasses and have tinted lenses. I have one pair for driving and a pair with a different tint for working on the computer or reading a book. they really help a lot! It's a little weird to get used to seeing the world in a different color but it really helps pop the background so that the road is easier to see and the words on the page are easier to see. and the thing I like most about these glasses, outside of them being relatively affordable… Is that I can take them off and have a conversation with my friends and it feels normal. it's a real struggle to deal with declining vision and with this solution, I don't have to feel weird or broken. i'm only 47 so I don't wanna feel like I can't keep doing and being who I am. dr. Walker has been very kind and patient and I have really been surprised at how much something so simple has helped! Also, as an addendum so people get all the help they need... if you are looking for help because you are feeling dizzy or hallucinating, please ALSO go see Dr. Cohen at InVision. They do brain training that helps a LOT!

I took my mother, who is 87 and has Macular Degeneration, to see Dr. Walker. She was incredibly patient with her and took plenty of time examining her and figuring out what will best help her in her day to day activities. I would definitely recommend her to anyone with low vision issues.

My father is 92 years old with macular degeneration in one eye and has never been able to see clearly out of his other eye. His visit with Dr. Walker was a wonderful experience. Dr. Walker was personable and professional, creating a comfortable, informative and inviting atmosphere. We are so glad to have found her and would highly recommend her to others who would like to receive an expert examination and learn about all the wonderful, unheard-of tools that are available to improve one's vision!

My husband is 63 years old and has advanced Macular Degeneration. Over the past couple of years he has lost the majority of his central vision. We were both devastated and began researching to find options. Luckily, we found Dr. Walker. When we met with her, she spent over 3 hours working with him to analyze his vision and worked with him to show him how to maximize the use of his peripheral vision. She also helped him test many different types of visual aids. With Dr. Walker's help, my husband purchased a very effective reading aid, a pair of telescope glasses to help him see distances and some binoculars designed for people with Macular Degeneration which will help him see even further.. Dr. Walker changed everything for us and gave us back the retirement we thought we had lost. For the past 40 years we have been working and saving so we could retire early and travel. My husband lost his vision the first year. We thought we could never do the things we planned. As soon as my husband got his visual aids, we started planning our first road trip. Dr. Walker is amazing.
