Vision Restored: Dr. Chris Palmer and Patient Ken Nelson Inspire Viewers on "Twin Cities Live" with Breakthrough Eyewear
St. Paul, MN - A powerful story of perseverance and technological innovation took center stage on KSTP Channel 5's Twin Cities Live as Dr. Chris Palmer of Low Vision Restoration appeared with patient Ken Nelson, a resident of Isanti, MN, to share how specialized glasses changed Ken's life.

Ken suffers from a rare genetic form of macular degeneration, a progressive eye condition that severely impaired his ability to see faces or carry out everyday activities. That changed dramatically when he was fitted with bioptic telescope glasses, an advanced solution designed for people with permanent vision loss.
"The center of my vision wasn't just black, it was blank," Ken told viewers. "The first time I put on these glasses, I said, 'Oh my God, I can see your face!' It was amazing. These glasses have helped me do better in life than I was four or five years ago."
Bioptic telescope glasses are customized devices that embed miniature telescopes into prescription lenses, allowing users to focus on specific tasks that require sharper vision-like reading, recognizing faces, and even driving. Dr. Palmer, one of about 50 Fellows in the International Academy of Low Vision Specialists (IALVS), is uniquely trained to evaluate and fit patients with this type of technology.
"We use magnification to make things bigger, closer, and easier to see, so people can continue doing what they love," Dr. Palmer explained during the segment. "For many, that includes being able to drive again and regain their independence."
Dr. Palmer sees patients from across the Twin Cities and throughout Minnesota, providing hope to those with macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and other vision impairments. Each patient undergoes a personalized evaluation to determine whether bioptic or other specialized eyewear can restore functional sight.
The Twin Cities Live segment gave viewers a moving and firsthand look at how cutting-edge optics are transforming lives. Ken's emotional testimony struck a chord with many.
"Now I can see everywhere," Ken said. "I'm happy."
Airing weekdays on KSTP Channel 5, Twin Cities Live highlights inspiring stories and practical solutions that make a real difference in viewers' lives. Dr. Palmer's work and Ken's story exemplify how compassion, science, and innovation can change what's possible.
