Lifestyle
When a person has low vision they may stop participating in the activities they once enjoyed or their approach to a task may be very different. However continuing to do the things you enjoy and adjusting the way you undertake the activity will help preserve quality of life.
There are many options to consider to help maintain your lifestyle:
- Join a walking group to maintain an active lifestyle
- Adapt social activities for example with large print cards or board games
- Seek out low vision activity groups
- Use the radio – find out about the radio reading service in your State or Territory for people who are vision impaired
- Find a travel agent who can help plan trips for people with low vision
- Network with social clubs for support
- Use adaptive technology for reading or doing the crossword
- Use audio technology that can deliver books and newspapers in audio form
- Use low vision software to continue to use the computer and access the internet
- Learn how to use the internet and email to stay in touch with others
