Welcome to
The Low Vision Store

The Low Vision Store offers new and used CCTV readers, along with personal service on a wide range of  low vision products. Helping visually impaired people maintain their independence for over a decade, Ken Twergo and Patty White work worldwide from offices and a showroom in Vancouver, Washington.

Their uniquely personal low vision venture has earned them the respect of thousands of families, as well as the trust and consultation of hundreds of retinal doctors, low vision product manufacturers, public agency professionals, teachers, and those who help senior citizens cope with macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic eye disease, and other sight threatening conditions.

As Ken and Patty continue their promise to introduce customers to new manufacturers, new products, and new developments in the industry, their loyalty remains where it always has been: with the people whose lives are changed by their help. This new website fulfills their deep commitment to service. With Patty's new blog,  Patty's Journal: Living with Low Vision," with extended Resources, FAQ, and low vision product sections, and a much requested shopping cart, they are advancing their goals to combine personal service with shopping convenience, to reach out broadly to those in need of help, and to share a bit of themselves along the way.  Educators, Counselors, and Purchasing Agents will appreciate the quick & easy features designed for them, too.

The technology available to the sight impaired is ever changing as well as life changing. Electronic devices have gotten easier to use, the screen image brighter and clearer. Portable devices abound. Every year something is new and wonderful. Maybe a product is now better than before, lighter, smaller, less fussy, or less costly. Believe it or not, some of the basic technology, like the desktop video magnifier, or CCTV, which has been around for a good forty-five years, has gotten less expensive rather than more expensive since Patty first needed equipment in 1997.

Please come back and visit often to view the listings of new and sale items to see what has arrived. Maybe you have wanted something that is now affordable because it is on this site as previously owned. Items come and go from our used inventory. Probably the best thing is simply to pick up the phone and ask what we have in your price range. If you call please leave a voice message!

The Low Vision Store takes trade-ins. You can receive a credit for your existing CCTV, if it is in good working condition, and apply the credit to the purchase price of a brand new system or another used system better suited to your present situation.  Many families place used readers with us for consignment sale.

Ken and Patty travel all the time. Feel free to make contact through this website. They do home visits, classes, seminars, and clinics in Oregon, Northern California, SW Washington, Southern Idaho, and Arizona. A trip may be planned for your community.
