Hello Bamshi,
Thank you for the tips. The boy lives in north Bengal, quite a remote place.
I have asked him to consult the best low vision centre in West Bengal. I
shall see if he can go to Hyderabad or Chennai. I shall pass over the tips.
Can you give me an idea of the cost of IQ and Zoomex aids? Where are they
available?
With best regards,
Amiyo Biswas

HI,
Accessibility for total blindness is uniform. But when it comes to
low vision, it differs from person to person, time to time, and
situation to situation. Also, is it 75% vision or disability? I
think its the later.
Here are a few tips:
1. For reading text books, try enlarging the text by taking photostat
copy on A3 paper. When I had 75% disability, I could read text on A3
paper.
2. For writing, use black sketch pen. It helps a lot.
3. Coming to low vision aids, there are devices available ranging
from simple magnifiers to electronic magnifiers which not only enlarge
the text but also change the colour contrast. IQ and Zoomex are a few
widely used ones.
4. There are screen magnifiers like Magic and Zoom Text for using
computers.
But for all the above things, and anything else, the boy's vision
should be evaluated for suggesting the right device for his condition
and needs. Where is the boy living? I know LVA centers in Hyderabad
and Chennai.
