About Our Practice
Ernest V. Loewenstein, Ph.D., O.D.,
Specialist in Developmental and
Environmental Vision Problems
617-244-6454
Dr. Loewenstein offers eye and vision examinations,
eyewear and contact lenses to patients of all ages, from infants
to seniors. His practice emphasizes visual comfort as well as sharpness.
These are not always the same thing. The patient is encouraged to
bring information about vocational and recreational activities so
that all the visual needs can be addressed.
In addition to the usual optometric services,
Dr. Loewenstein makes a specialty of seeing patients with reading
and learning difficulties, and patients with lazy eye or turned
eyes. These individuals can often be helped with vision therapy
("eye exercises") Adults as well as children can be treated
for these conditions. Children with a diagnosis of LD or ADD/HD
often have accompanying vision problems that exacerbate these conditions.
A popular speaker with kids and adults, Dr. Loewenstein
makes the important business of learning about eye health approachable
and comfortable.
