Computers For Low Vision

Does anyone know a web-site making domain (think wordpress, blogspot, xanga, flickr and more) that is updated with blogs, video, pictures that can be decoded into the BrailleNote computer, and has options for low-vision to change to contrast? my friend is thinking of developing a new blogsite but is accessible to low-vision and blind people as well.

You shouldn't have to because all those options are all ready available under the Accessibility Options in the Control Panel.

If a person sets up to change the Contrast, Magification, Narrative etc then it doesn't matter what they are doing, either working off line or using sites on the the internet the computer's display and audio settings will remain the same.

This demonstration shows how far the Accessibility ReadOut function works on the DroidX. I find using the Android Market Search function ...

To let them reading books easy and other aids or tips for viewing TVs or computers.

what you describe is long sightedness or hypermetropic vision for which they need convex lenses. a contact with nearby optician should aid them.

I've noticed problems with my vision in low light conditions. Can it be that I use the computer for too many hours? I have a CRT graphics monitor (LCD was too bright for me) and I currently use some glasses with yellow lenses that are supposed to be for computer and night-driving. I have about 6 incisions per eye.

It could be. you might want to talk to your doctor about it. I would make sure to take breaks and use some good lubricating drops like Optive. It might just be driness from lack of blinking. Really.

I am 24 and I have monocular vision. Lost most of my sight more than 10 years ago. I survived by feeling my way through. My functioning eye is very astigmatic. I am not using any low vision aid of any kind. I have multi-focal lenses as my eye is very astigmatic. However, it is very difficult for me to read at close range because the lense is sensitive to distance. I work with a computer with bare eye. The best I can do is magnify the screen by zooming it. I read very close to the monitor(my face only about 3-4 inches from the screen)

I know that at some point, I may go totally blind. I want to delay that as much as I can. I worry about straining my eyes too much but what can I do?

Have you seen an eye doctor who specializes in low vision? If your eye doctor hasn't helped you much with this, you may want to ask for a referral to someone who deals more with low vision patients. (You can also call other local optometrists and ask them about what they do for low vision.) It sounds like you are struggling more than you have to because there are numerous gadgets and devices that can help you maximize your remaining vision.

I have dyplopia it is a fancy word for double vision. I might have grown out of it because my glasses don't help not to mention they cramp my style. I have gone to the eye doctor recently and I didn't get any answers because the doctor was being a jerk. He has quite the reputation in our town with 3 lawsuits for malpractice. I don't know my options for other eye doctors because I live in small town. I'd rather go blind than go to another eye doctor. There is one in El Paso but I live in New mexico and I don't have time for th trip and I don't know if my insurance will cover it. If I go blind , I already know about resources ie; Magnifier , narrator on the computer , large print , audio books etc. I know the letters A-F in braile . lol. there is a blind school in my town. I can't say care any more.
A note to fruit salad : I called it low vision because I can hardly read normal type books . I see double then things go blurry. If I wanted a optical health lession I'd go to WebMD - Hope they have large type! They are my eyes , I have had them for 22 years . I also thought about how I have a learning disbilty and maybe
I use large print so things aren't cluttered so I can process it easier.

Diplopia/double vision isn't low vision. Have you been told you were expected to go blind? It's very rare in young people.

In many cases a simple pair of glasses is the answer for diplopia. When you say you might have grown out of it, what does that mean? Do you see double or not?
