Quick Tips

LOW VISION TIPS:

• To prevent back strain when using a magnifier, use a reading stand or lap desk
• When filling out forms use name/address labels instead of writing out all the information
• Install contrasting colored handles on doors and drawers.
• For easy entrance through fences, paint doors/gates different colors than the fences
• For more visible flowers, use light colored flowers against a red brick wall and dark flowers against a light colored wall
• Between the lawn and where the flowers meet, use color contrasting stones or edging materials
