Do you know you're visually impaired?

Many people think that low vision only affects those with "very little vision."

In reality, low vision is a functional condition: even with glasses or contact lenses, vision is not sufficient to perform certain daily activities such as reading, recognizing faces, using a smartphone, or moving around safely.

You don't have to be "blind" to need visual aids.

There are simple and practical tools that can significantly improve your vision, even without a formal diagnosis of low vision.

Let's look at 4 practical tips, based on real-life situations, where visual aids really make a difference.

1. Difficulty reading small text? Use a portable video magnifier

If you have trouble reading:

bills

labels

books

recipes or documents

A portable video magnifier is an extremely effective tool.

Why it's useful:

Enlarges text in real time

Improves contrast

Allows reading even with reduced vision

It's lightweight and can be used anywhere

It's ideal for the visually impaired, the elderly, or those with eye strain.

2. Need quick help? A magnifying glass is still irreplaceable

Despite technology, a magnifying glass remains one of the most widely used aids.

When to use it:

To quickly read text

To check a price

For precision handicrafts

For sewing, DIY, or hobbies

There are magnifying glasses:

With different magnifications

With built-in lighting

Ergonomic and lightweight

A small tool, but often a lifesaver. Find out here!

3. Do you see worse in dimly lit environments? Improve the light with a dedicated LED lamp

Proper lighting can improve your vision more than you think.

LED lamps for low vision:

Reduce shadows

Increase contrast

Do not glare

Help with reading and close-up work

They are essential for:

Reading

Writing

Cooking

Working at a table

Often the problem isn't "how much you see," but how the things you look at are illuminated.

4. Glare, annoying light, or photophobia? Medical filters really help

If light bothers you, especially:

outdoors

with screens

with artificial lights

Nanometric medical filters are an advanced solution.

What they do:

Select specific wavelengths

Reduce glare

Improve contrast

Increase visual comfort

They are very useful in cases of:

Maclar degeneration

Retinopathy

Glaucoma

Photophobia

Significant eye strain

They are not just "sunglasses," but customized visual devices.

Low vision is not a label, but a condition that can be addressed.

And above all: don't wait until you're "sight impaired" to ask for help.

With the right aids, you can read better, experience less fatigue, be more independent, and improve your quality of life.
