- A Resource About Vision Problems
-
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- I am an avid collector of catalogues of all sorts. Of course, many
- contain information about publications dealing with patient education, but no
- catalogue goes unread, before it finds its way into my filing cabinets. They
- provide a library of resources and I can always check a catalogue before a
- shopping spree, or find information about a particularly thorny problem, which
- helps provide a quick solution. Recently I obtained a copy of a wonderful
- publication that can be of certain value to many friends who have my column
- read to them, because of impaired sight. Its called "Products for People With
- Vision Problems", published by the American Foundation for the Blind (AFB),
- and it is loaded with a wide variety of interesting items. It includes
- special clocks and timers, a group of "talking" health aids such as
- thermometer, blood pressure cuff and bathroom scale, tools and instruments,
- and writing aids. There are a number games available, including chess and
- checkers, low vision playing cards, and even that all time favorite
- "Monopoly". Its simple to get a copy of this for your self, relative or
- friend. You may use the AFB toll free hotline, 1-800-AF-BLIND (NY residents
- call 212-620 2147), or you can mail your request to AFB, 15 West 16th Street,
- New York, NY 10011.
