Low vision is not the end of the road.

While low vision can feel overwhelming, it doesn't have to mean giving up the things you love. With the right tools, support, and guidance, you too may be able to get back to your crossword puzzles and favorite magazines.

Stargardt disease is a rare, genetic form of macular degeneration that typically begins in childhood or young adulthood that causes progressive loss of central vision.

In our most recent blog post, we talk about what Stargardt disease is and how it is diagnosed, how the condition is managed, and how having having the right support makes all the difference. We also hear from our own low vision technician, Holly, who lives and thrives with this condition.

Life is more digital than ever. From work to entertainment to shopping to socializing, the internet is part of our daily life—but the experience is not the same for everyone.

For those with low vision, many websites are difficult, if not impossible, to read. That's why accessible design is so important. If you manage a website, keep these tips in mind:

➡ Good contrast between foreground and background
➡ Adjustable text sizes
➡ Screen reader-friendly structure
➡ Simple, clutter-free layouts

These features not only look nice, but they create an inclusive digital experience for all.

"I know what you're going through. I struggle with this too."

Many patients who come in are surprised to learn that Holly, our lead low vision technician, understands low vision on both a professional—and personal—level. Diagnosed in her mid-20s with Stargardt disease, a genetic form of macular degeneration that typically affects younger people, Holly uses her experience to support others navigating vision loss.

In our most recent blog post, we're taking a closer look at Stargardt disease, and hearing more about Holly's story along the way. Read the article here: https://midwestlowvision.com/living-and-thriving-with-stargardt-disease/

Preparing meals should be safe and enjoyable. For those with low vision, however, cooking can be a challenge. Here are a few tips to make your time in the kitchen more accessible:

➡ Employ high-contrast cutting boards to make food stand out: a dark cutting board for light-colored foods, and a lighter board for foods that are darker in color
➡ Utilize tactile markers for stove and microwave settings
➡ Use "talking" appliances and equipment
➡ Install bright lighting where it is needed most
➡ Organize frequently used items in the easiest-to-reach spaces
➡ Store items consistently in the same places
➡ Keep the floor clean and easy to navigate

A little thoughtful planning can help to make the cooking experience more pleasant and stress-free.

That sink full of dishes though? We can't help you there. 😆😄

For many individuals with low vision, driving is one of the activities they miss most.

You may be wondering if bioptic telescopic glasses can help you get back behind the wheel—and in some cases, the answer is yes.

Several states, including Indiana, where we are located, allow the use of bioptics for driving, provided specific requirements are met.
