If you or someone you love has low vision, there are ways to make the most of your vision and keep doing the things you love. If your vision loss is minor small changes can help you see better. You can try using brighter lights, wearing anti-glare sunglasses, using a magnifying glass for up close activities and reading, and changing the settings on your computer screen and phone to increase contrast, make the text larger, read out loud to you, and more. If vision loss is getting in the way of daily life, talk to you doctor or reach out to the Educational Center for the Visually Impaired. You are not alone. There are people and programs ready to help. Note: This article is for informational purposes only. It should not in any way be considered professional medical advice or medical advice of any kind.
