Vision Impairment
There are different types of aids available to help people with vision impairment. Depending on the severity of their vision loss, people require various accessories to assist them with their daily activities.
For people who are blind, they may have learned to read using Braille. Many items such as stoves, rulers, calendars and phones have been made with Braille.
For people who are legally blind or have low vision there are magnifiers for reading, low vision clocks and talking watches.
Computers are now accessible for people with vision problems. There are screen magnifiers, keyboards with large print and even programs where you can speak and the computer types for you.
A great deal of progress has been made for people with vision problems, but there’s always more needed.
