Adaptive Equipment - Computer & Office - Low Vision
The term "low vision" covers a broad range of possible conditions and types of visual impairment. The solutions offered below may be of benefit to some individuals with low vision, but not to everyone. The individual to be accommodated must be included in any product decision since no one else can view the world in exactly the same way they see it through their eyes.
