Kenneth Gieser, MD, the same ophthalmologist who established the Wheaton Eye Clinic. Dr. Gieser himself experienced low vision problems associated with macular degeneration.

Formerly known as The Deicke Center for Visual Rehabilitation, Spectrios helps people learn to cope with low vision disabilities by offering specialized low vision tools and training. Adults and children from throughout Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin and Indiana learn how to live on their own and regain their abilities to do all that they love to do. Spectrios is one of the Midwest’s most highly regarded low vision centers and is recognized by the National Eye Institute; it has met rigorous standards to achieve accreditation by the National Accreditation Council for Agencies Serving Blind and Visually Impaired.
