" I have a CCTV for reading documents and mail. I also have a magnifying glass to carry with me when I go out with friends and family. I use zoomtext for the computer to read and magnify the screen for me.

I use a talking watch when I need to. I hear there are talking clocks and clocks with large numbers.

I have not learned to read braile so I depend on my magnifying things and other people around me. "
