The best reading aid for people with low vision is a strong bifocal and lots of extra light in the reading area. Learn how magnifying glasses may ...

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.

Sequel #3. Gauging everyone's reply in 1st & sequel #2, I got the notion that nobody knows yet as to how can warming be resolved. Statistics in here showed that out of 10 correspondents, 1 was curious. Can I presume that out of 6 B world population, 10% are doubtful, viz-a-viz, the General Assembly in managing world affairs? A Philippine tech was created in 2001 with 3 functions of eliminating wastes, rehabilitating soil and curing the environment. A vision followed in June 2004 wherein God identified 3 coded cavities in world's affairs (Daniel's 4-beast vision) that should be corrected and these are health, agriculture & meteorology, surprisingly matching the tech's functions. In 2005, I accused UN to 33 countries (thru the embassies) of misleading the world with FALSE SCIENCES, a GRAND DECEIT causing so much disasters, sufferings & deaths. If you read again sequel #2, did you find anything spectacular? Nothing? Then let me help you. What element is needed to shield earth from severe solar radiation in order to repair ozone layer, rebuild glaciers, increase resistance of organisms' immune system (vs. SARS, HIV/AIDS, bird flu, etc.), calm weather, protect plants & trees, & so on? Answer is O2 (the forgotten common denominator). This will lower down pollution by neutralizing CO, CH3 and others. Do you recall in 2004 that 10,000 birds fell like rain in China? Scientists had no explanation but I do. It was because the birds entered in a massive cloud of CO2 or CH3 without O2. At the height of sudden deaths in Europe, the health minister resigned. Many cannot breath (i.e., suffocating). I immediately went to to the embassy of France in 2003 to inform them that they had a TEMPORARY LOSS OR SHORTAGE OF O2. In another, with regards to 3 landslides In the Philippines, scientists claimed of softening of the soil. I thought it was wrong because there were loud explosions before erosion. My diagnosis showed that compression of CO2 in the the soil made CO2 violently escaped (similar to a shaken carbonated soft drink). This happens when decay bacteria in the sub-soil consume all O2. In this vein, recycling to produce O2 (& not CO2 reduction) should be the world's main thrust, isn't it? Is tree planting the solution? Not really, why? Because at extreme heat conditions, the stomata closes, i.e., no CO2 intake, no O2 release. They then dry & burn contrary to arson as prognosis. Hence, brush & forest fires will never end and will repeat every year in Australia, California, etc. Soon these states & countries will totally become deserts. These make all scientists' studies & recommendations half-baked and incomplete. Thus, Al Gore's promotion of emission reduction, Kyoto Protocol, carbon trading earth hour & other world's programs do not come from the same road when God created this world. Jesus Christ was right saying, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do." Now, have I enlightened everybody? Is my ranting justifiable under exempting circumstance? Ask me more. After 9/11, Nostradamus was not able to predict global warming before he revealed 1,000 years of peace. But God revealed his ancient word in Daniel's vision to prepare earth now before that 1,000 years will come. With quadrillion MT of CO2 absorption & quadrillion MT of O2 production, the Philippine tech will definitely save people & earth before the new era begins.

global warming has been eliminated by 2008 cold temps. plus the average is ten degrees below normal this year. why do you think gore was laughed at every time he said global warming that why it is now global change.
