Synopsis: According
to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over seven million
people in the US alone suffer from severe vision loss or blindness. In the
past, low vision was truly a life-altering condition. Those seemingly everyday
tasks that were once so simple instead became difficult—whether one had to
work, cook, read, drive, go out to shop, or even turn on a light switch, one’s
world had been completely turned upside down. Today, however, things have
begun to change. With the revolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) already
underway, many of the major barriers caused by diminished or fully lost vision
have been lessened or completely eliminated. In Low Vision Matters, authors Laura Stevens and Thomas Blackman
provide a comprehensive guide to all the aids and equipment now available—along
with important practical advice—to those who are vision-challenged. |
