Wondering if anyone has advice I can share with MIL who has #maculardegeneration now progressing more rapidly and is upset that she may not be able to watch #tennis on TV next year. I don’t watch sports and am not visually impaired (other than old age and reading glasses) so haven’t the first clue what to tell her. If there is anything to say at all. I know that there is blind tennis, but that’s for playing, not watching. She is not one to learn new things and is old now so even less so.

I rigged up an assistive device.

An electronic magnifier that puts an image from a hand-held mouse-style camera on a (46 inch / 116cm on the diagonal) television screen.

Effective magnification is 20 times.

Magnifiers with small screens at high magnifications show only a small section of text.
My large screen allows multiple words & adjacent lines to be on the screen.
Orientation is easier to maintain.

Pics to come.

The agenda for this Thursday is firstly not to overheat like yesterday, secondly it's a lunchtime trip into Leicester city centre for an optician appointment.

I'm seeing distortion on the Amsler Chart which has worried me and I want a professional opinion on it, hence the Opticians.

We might treat ourselves to Greggs for lunch in Town Hall Square - knowing, as we do, how to live the high life.

Have a good one (and look at that Chart occasionally if you're of a certain age)
