users are going to love this feature."

classroom use -- taking photos of the lecture for
later referral while studying -- among many other

Advances in Low Vision Technology Help Children |
|
|
The following excerpt by Anne Corn in a recent article published for
Lighthouse International tells of the advances and
benefits these new assistive vision products have
had on low vision children.
"Advances in technologies have provided for more
complex prescriptions that address such visual
conditions as photophobia, lowered contrast
sensitivity and visual field restrictions. Technical
advances have also provided for more lightweight
devices — and devices that are far more cosmetically
acceptable than in years past.
In the last decade, there have also been more
government programs that use educational funds to
ensure the provision of optical devices for
children... In recent years, there has also been
more research that explores the impact of optical
devices on children's literacy skills. The
psychological and social benefits of optical devices
have also been considered favorably.
Challenges remain and yet, while more children are
receiving prescribed devices, there are still too
many others who are not yet referred for clinical
low vision evaluations, are relying on large print
as their only reading media, or are waiting for
funding to give them what today should be considered
a minimal standard of care. In the future there must
be a way to respond to the barriers that limit
children's access to optical devices and instruction
in their use. "
Make sure to see the full range of new technologies
developed by VTI to address low vision (http://www.pcivision.com/products.htm).
