Increase Illumination
• A person in their 80’s requires nearly three times as much light as a 20 year old
• A person who is visually impaired will need even more lighting
• Use gooseneck lamps, flashlights and illuminated magnifiers
• Task lamps will provide the needed light without causing glare

Learning to Use Your Aids
• The new video magnifiers demonstrated in this lecture will truly improve your quality of life. You will benefit from receiving training by a low vision professional to allow you to read, write, use your computer, and see all the things that you wanted to in your life.

Become Familiar with Community Resources
• If you view your vision problem as a challenge and are willing to be flexible and learn new ways to do your daily living tasks, you will live productively and independently
• The only significant barrier to your independence is YOUR resistance to change and learning something new
• By using the tools that we discussed today everyone with a visual impairment will be able to accomplish more than they thought they could
