Reading with Vision Loss

My sight is slowly getting worse, and I have to be very aware of that. I'm an avid reader. I thought, oh, I'm not gonna be able to read anymore.

From labels to letters, from recipes to books, there's a lot of reading that happens in our everyday lives, and with vision loss, whether you have low vision or no vision, it can be tricky to find exactly what you need to make reading a little easier. At Hadley, we have lots of ideas that can help.

Today we're going to talk about some tips and tools that come in handy, whether you're reading a few words, diving into a novel or anything in between. Let's start with lighting. If you have low vision, the right lighting can make a huge difference. Whether you'd like to read bills and mail at your desk, or you want to set up a cozy little reading area, it's a great idea to add some task lighting to your space.

Now that you've had a chance to learn a bit with us, we'd like to learn more about you, your email address name, how you heard about Hadley, and your relationship to vision loss learning more will give us a better understanding of how to personalize Hadley just for you. And don't worry, everything you share with us online will be kept safe and secure. Of course, if you'd prefer to talk through these questions, we are just a phone call away at 800-323-4238.
