Find Low Vision Aids For Seniors

By Erica Holms


As people age, the eyesight gets weaker and makes it more difficult to perform even the simplest everyday tasks. People with elderly loved ones may start considering the need for their loved one to live with others. Many people who want to remain independent will instead stock up on low vision aids to make life around the house easier to handle.

Some senior vision products are designed specifically for a computer. More seniors than ever rely on a home computer for communication, entertainment and other activities. A handy screen magnifier will make it easier to see the monitor. Stickers with large fonts may be affixed to the keys so they are easier to find at a glance.

Even the most mundane task can be difficult and frustrating for anyone who is not taking advantage of the many low vision products on the market. A hand held magnifying glass comes in handy when browsing through the newspaper or reading a recipe. Senior products available include specially designed telephones featuring numbers with extra large fonts or buttons that light up to increase visibility.

Another area of the home that seniors do not want to give up their freedom is in the kitchen. There are a variety of low vision aids that can be used in the kitchen so your loved ones can continue their cooking and baking. There is an extra large kitchen timer that is easier to set because it is not so small. In addition there are scales that talk, that way you do not have to strain your eyes trying to figure out how much something weighs. Not having this could screw up an entire recipe because the wrong measurement may go into a recipe.

Oversize pill organizers are clearly marked with the days of the week to make sure seniors are taking the proper medication. A talking calculator is a tool that will come in handy when paying the monthly household bills and balancing a checkbook. There is no need for seniors to feel inadequate with so many different low vision helpers available to help them see more clearly. Purchasing one or more of these products will instantly increase quality of life and restore a sense of independence that will help seniors live more productive lives.
