LOW VISION HELPFUL HINTS Here are a few simple ideas that can make things just a little easier around the house for the person with low vision disorders. ● Replace wall socket covers and light switch covers with ones which contrast in color to the wall. ● A clear plastic shower curtain allows more light into the shower area than an opaque or solid one. ● Buy soap that contrasts with the sink and bathtub; floating soap is sometimes easier to find; liquid soap dispensers are sometimes preferred; soap-on-a-rope is handy in the tub or shower. ● Avoid bright, busy visual clutter in choosing table cloths, furniture upholstery, ironing board covers, and bedspreads. ● Large print watches are now fashionable and far cheaper in department and discount stores than in the specialty catalogues. ● Hang clocks and pictures lower on the walls to be at eye level when sitting in chairs. ● Rearrange living room furniture to best utilize light, to avoid glare from windows, and to get as close as possible to the television. ● Invest in a television which is to be used solely by the person in the home with low vision -- that person can then sit as closely as needed and can choose the program; some people prefer color, others black and white. ● Place strips of slip-proof material in a contrasting color on the edges of steps. |
