Low Vision Aids: Devices & Technologies

This document discusses low vision aids and is divided into three sections: optical devices, non-optical devices, and assistive technologies. Optical devices include magnifying spectacles, hand magnifiers, stand magnifiers, and telescopes to enlarge objects. Non-optical devices enhance contrast, reduce glare, and adjust lighting and workspace. Assistive technologies provide video and computer magnification as well as devices to assist with daily tasks.
