Born To Talk Radio Show with Optometrist, Dr. Harold Ashcraft

Dr. Harold Ashcraft has received two Bachelor of Science Degrees with Honors as well as his Doctor of Optometry Degree with Distinction (1984). He is a member of Phi Eta Sigma, Phi Kappa Phi, and Beta Sigma Kappa honor societies. He is also a member of the American, California and Los Angeles County Optometric Societies.

Dr. Ashcraft specializes in the diagnosis and management of computer vision problems, dry eye, and fitting of all types of contact lenses including disposable, colors, bifocals and lenses for astigmatism. Since doing research in optometry school on dyslexia, he retains an interest in learning disabilities and visual training.

Dr. Ashcraft is committed to helping low vision and partially sighted patients of all ages do the visual tasks they most want to do such as reading, seeing faces, watching television, driving, playing cards, writing, and enjoying live theater.

Most of Dr. Ashcraft’s patients have been told the nothing more could be done for them and that their glasses could not be made any stronger. But with recent developments in special magnifying low vision glasses, spectacle telescopes and microscopes as well as other new technology, hope is within reach.

Dr. Ashcraft’s goal is to improve the quality of life by improving vision and helping the partially sighted to be more independent so that they can have the life they have dreamed of. Common conditions that Dr. Ashcraft helps with are macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, cataracts, albinism, and Stargardt’s disease.
