Digital Tablets that Allow for Improved Reading with Low Vision
A study conducted at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Jersey scientifically concluded what many of us have already discovered: digital tablets increase speed and ease of reading in people with a moderate degree of vision loss. People who have suffered vision loss that cannot be fully remedied with corrective lenses or medical treatment are guided to use low-vision aids to enhance their remaining vision. In the past, lighted magnifiers or large-print books were among the few options to assist with reading. Today, new technologies are leading the way for those with low-vision to more fully engage in reading books, printed media, and on-line materials. We kept this fact in mind when designing the new BFS website which allows for font-size adjustment and is fully compatible with tablets and text-to-voice screen readers.
