March 19, 2008

Vision is considered our most precious sense of all. Many would rather be legless than not being able to have their site. Even with today’s amazing advances in medical treatment such as laser correction, more than 11.4 million Americans live with partial or total vision loss, which means vision loss is irreversible. Everyday tasks, such as reading, writing, cooking, or watching the TV are seemingly challenging. With today’s remarkable breakthrough in technology, no one should have to suffer the consequences of vision loss.

One low vision aid that will help with the vision impairment is the TVi Color Print Magnifier.

You just slide “mouse” with the tracks over any text or pictures, and the image is displayed on the screen, which allows you to view images with ease. The “mouse” portion of the product has a track which allows the movement to “mouse” smooth and easy.

Another great product is the Prisma Color Video Magnifier. This product is used with a standard television set. The Prisma must be attached to a TV in order to see the magnified image. It displays a clear reading image featuring two modes. This video magnifier can display color and black and white images and has an an ergonomic and modern appearance that will look attractive, yet discrete (total weight is 3 pounds and folds to 5cm), in any home, office, or school setting. The Prisma has a padded carrying case that allows you to take it anywhere. It uses a very reactive light which creates a High Contrast Image Quality makes it easy to read, and also can be adjusted for low light environments so it won’t create a glared reflection, which makes this even more wonderful.
