Aids & Technology Guide
The Foundation, in collaboration with NSW Department of Health, has produced a new publication called Low Vision Aids & Technology – A Guide.
Low Vision Aids & Technology – A Guide provides information on the different types of aids, equipment and technology which can assist those with low vision in many different settings from home to work.
The guide answers key questions often asked by people with low vision, their family and carers. It also provides examples of how aids and technologies have helped many people with a vision impairment to achieve the goal of maintaining quality of life and independence.
To order a copy of Low Vision Aids & Technology - A Guide please call 1800 111 709.
