INDEPENDENT LIVING SKILLS
We can make suggestions to help you overcome barriers presented by vision loss. We can show you how to maximize your remaining vision with adaptive equipment, such as magnifiers and improved lighting. We can recommend using bump dots to mark your microwave, washing machine or oven temperature. We can tell you about products that talk to you instead of relying on your vision. We can help you get more out of watching a video. You can continue to do many of the things you did before vision loss, but you may have to learn a new way of doing them.
