The Importance of Low-Vision Aids

Vision changes can happen at any age. However, adults 65 and over have higher risks for conditions like age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, cataracts and glaucoma. For some, wearing glasses or switching to bifocals or transitional lenses may help. However, others may find that they need greater magnification to read and navigate through other daily activities.

An estimated 4 million Americans live with low vision that can't be addressed with glasses. Low vision like this can become disabling and isolating over time. These conditions may affect your full vision (resulting in reduced clarity and depth perception) or just your peripheral vision.

Low-vision aids like magnifiers with lights, monitors, text-to-speech tools, wearable vision aids and other vision enhancers can help you maintain your quality of life. Here are just a few ways in which vision enhancements can help improve your quality of life:

  • Handheld video magnifiers and magnifying glasses with lights can help users with all types of media - from books and magazines to newspapers, mail correspondence or computer screens.
  • Improved clarity can help users better understand television broadcasts or read recipes.
  • Thanks to their innovative functions like built-in lights, speech functions and text-enabling features, today's low-vision aids take into account multiple factors that can impact visibility.

Exploring Low-Vision Aids and Magnifiers

Unsure about how to choose the right low-vision aid for your needs? Take the following factors into account:

  • Where and how often will you be reading?
  • What you will be reading. Will you be reading from labels, recipes, books, computer screens - or a combination of all of these?
  • The magnification and enhancement strength you'll need for your everyday activities, whether they are watching television, cooking, sewing or driving.
  • The degree of vision impairment.
  • Any cognitive considerations.

Due to varying environments, individuals may turn to multiple magnifiers and enhancers based on each task and situation. Start exploring solutions at Senior.com online now.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of low-vision aids are available for reading?

Common low-vision aids for reading include:

  • Lighted magnifiers, including handheld, mounted and digital solutions
  • Reading telescopes, which are attached to a set of eyeglasses to improve the clarity of the text
  • Reading glasses, which increase the size of small print
  • Video magnifiers, a desktop device that displays text and pictures on an adjustable monitor
  • Portable electronic or digital magnifiers, which display text and images on an adjustable screen
  • Text-to-voice or text-to-speech devices, which read the text to you

Are resources and training available to help users maximize the benefits of visually impaired products?

The American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) has put together a list of resources to help visually impaired individuals learn more about vision enhancement products and how to use them.

What types of content can I access with a screen reader?

To use a screen reader, you'll first need to understand the type of content it can review and translate back to you:

  • The device may strictly read back text and identify the contents of any images and tables
  • Braille displays translate text into a Braille texture for the user

Can computer screen magnifiers be used on different devices, such as laptops, desktops and tablets?

A computer screen magnifier for the visually impaired is typically compatible with desktops, laptops and tablets. Check the screen size ahead of time, as well as the device's compatibility, to make sure the magnifier will let you view text and images on both your computer's screen and the keys on its keyboard. If help is needed, a Customer Care Specialist can help clarify what products you need for certain instances. Visit our Senior Help Center to learn how to connect with us by phone, live chat or email.

What features should I look for when choosing the best magnifying glass reader for my visual impairment needs?

When shopping for the best magnifier for the visually impaired, base your decision on your needs and the following features:

  • What will you typically be viewing with the magnifier? Will it be books with text and images? Recipes? Television? A computer or tablet screen?
  • How much control do you need? For example, a manual magnifier makes the text larger but electronic magnifiers let you adjust the size and contrast.
  • How far will you need to see? Along with closely held books, magazines, recipes and computers, some vision enhancers use magnifiers to better view televisions or whiteboards.
  • What kind of portability do you need? Will you need to take your vision enhancement product with you on the go? A desktop device may be sufficient for at-home use; however, a portable magnifier will accommodate those who are frequently active. Portable magnifying glasses and compact vision enhancers are especially helpful when reading restaurant menus, food labels and other documents.
