helped by using optical aids such as specially

designed glasses, magnifiers, and other low vision

devices (CCTVs, screen magnifiers, large print checks).

2.5M, 20 point, large print: Optical aids may improve your

ability to read and watch TV.  They may require you to hold

material close to your eyes or see only a small area at a time.

when you really want to maximize your vision. (860) 567-3133

higher contrast materials.  (860) 567-3133

1.6M, 12 point books: Utilizing alternative means to perform certain tasks can help your vision.  These include your hearing (talking watches and appliances, adaptive text-to-speech computer software, and audio books), and those that use your sense of touch (paper with raised bold line writing lines and tactile markers you can feel).        1 tsp salt   (860) 567-3133
