Omschrijving

Accordingto the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over seven millionpeople in the US alone suffer from severe vision loss or blindness. In thepast, low vision was truly a life-altering condition. Those seemingly everydaytasks that were once so simple instead became difficult-whether one had towork, cook, read, drive, go out to shop, or even turn on a light switch, one'sworld had been completely turned upside down. Today, however, things havebegun to change. With the revolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) alreadyunderway, many of the major barriers caused by diminished or fully lost visionhave been lessened or completely eliminated. In Low Vision Matters, authors Laura Stevens and Thomas Blackmanprovide a comprehensive guide to all the aids and equipment now available-alongwith important practical advice-to those who are vision-challenged.

Thebook is divided into two parts. Part One focuses on the day-to-day activitiesthat low vision can affect-from safety in your home or traveling outside, tothe handling of finances or one's home entertainment system. It discusses thelatest technologies that can enable a person with eyesight problems toturn on a light, start a dishwasher, or even answer a phone through the use oforal commands-and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Part Two then provides abreakdown of the various kinds of helpful vision-aid products now available.Because the authors understand the costs involved in purchasing such equipment, they include the names of those organizations and associations in an extensiveResources section along with various other crucial contacts about which thosewith low vision and their loved ones and caretakers need to know.

Timeshave changed. Low Vision Mattersprovides a wealth of information that can vastlyimprove the daily life of a person living with vision loss or blindness.
