Low vision "eye doctors" are also referred to as low vision specialists and low vision optometrists. They are optometrists who specialize in working with those who suffer from low vision, especially macular degeneration Most of their works centers around finding magnification solutions to help those with the disease. Solutions can include specialized lenses, off the shelf magnifiers and CCTVs.
