Guide to Visual Aids

Visual aids or vision aids are certain types of equipment that are specially designed for people who have problems with their eyesight. It is used for people who have a certain kind of eye problem called low vision which is common in older people but it does not happen due to old age. It can happen to people of all ages and it can be caused by various reasons like cataracts or age-related macular degeneration. If a person has low vision then he or she will not be able to do their everyday work properly without help. They should use visual aids like a low vision marker pen which can make bolder letters and texts. Many people with low vision do not use normal pens and pencils and instead, they use these high visibility markers that make dark writings.

 

There are many types of visual aids depending on the condition of the person who has low vision. If the person can see things to some extent then they will not have to take magnifiers to see or read the people who have acute low vision will need an electronic video magnifier to zoom in the letters and alphabets. Many types of electronic magnifiers will increase the writings if you put the page or the book on the camera or scanner. The magnifiers have a large screen where the people can see the writings.

 

Moreover, the magnifiers have many zoom and contrast settings so that the person with the visual problem can adjust them at their convenience. Thus visual aids are very necessary for people with low vision as they will help them in overcoming their visual problems and being successful in life.
