One of the toughest parts about losing vision is also losing the ability to enjoy some of the things you love. Out of most forms of entertainment, many say the hardest to lose is the ability to watch TV. Thankfully there are devices that can assist so you don't have to miss out on a second of your favorite show anymore!

Tools To The Rescue

Magnifying television glasses, for example, are meant to magnify at a distance. If you put these on while sitting in your chair, the television will appear twice as large, which may be exactly what you need to see what's going on. If that doesn't seem like enough, a spectacle-mounted telescope can be recommended, which will allow you to magnify distant objects even more – but keep in mind that it will reduce your field of vision the more you zoom in.

While each of these devices can assist it is fair to note that with their advantages also comes disadvantages such as having to hold the personal magnifier all the time or having a telescope mounted to your favorite pair of glasses which isn't really ideal. Fortunately as technology progresses, there have been developments with technological assistive devices for the visually impaired.
