Why this Page?

I have poor vision due to Wet Macular Degeneration from several years ago.  As a result my center vision has almost no detail.  I can no longer read printed material because I need a really large dark font and high contrast.  No one prints books or magazines like that.  I use electronic readers for just about everything.  Many things I have to copy and paste into a word processor and change the font to make it readable.

I am designing this Website to accommodate others with Low-Vision or other difficulties.  So this Website will have the following features:

·        High Contrast

·        Easy Read Font

·        Bolder Font

·        No Italic Fonts

·        No Flashing Text

·        No Dark-on-Dark or Lite-on-lite text

 

If you are someone with Low-Vision and have a suggestion for improvement, please contact me.

 

 

 

Below are some links to makers of Electronic-Assistive Glasses for people with Low-Vision.

·       eSight - Life-changing device for people with low vision

·       irisvision - Our Vision is to Improve Yours

·       NUEYES - Low Vision Solutions

 

Notes:

I have no purchased any of the devices from the above manufacturers.  However I am keeping watch on them.  My vision is too good right now to make these solutions worth the money.  However I mad need one of the in the future.

I did by an Electronic Magnifier called a Clover 10.  While I do find it useful for a couple of things, it is really not worth the cost.  My guess it is 2002 technology from a Freshman Design Project.  No Touch Screen, No Menu, specialized Power Supply (not USB).  Settings are made by pressing two or more controls in the proper sequence or together.  Not something I would expect to be sold in 2024 anywhere other than a Thrift Store.  I recommend passing right on by the Clover 10.
