What are the best low vision devices for Christmas? Dr. Krawitz's choices might surprise you!
The best way to read a newspaper or book if you have vision that is 20/70 or worse isn't a magnifying glass. It's an iPad. What's an iPad? It's an electronic do-everything flat computer that you can hold in your hand. And it has the benefit of magnifying letters and giving you the option to see white print against a black background. Don't know how to use it? Get one of the family teenagers, who knows how to set this up in their sleep.
The other low vision device? A big TV, and bigger is better. Why? Because it "subtends" an larger viewing angle and allows a larger area of your retina to get the full picture. If you're still trying to get by with a 32-inch set, it's time to upgrade. Best of all, it costs much less money than you think.
