My aunt is developing macular degeneration. Any suggestions for devices

1. Does she like to read?

I used to have a couple of people who came to the library who had that condition. They had magnifying glasses to help them.

At one point, I found a catalog with devices for people with low vision. One of the products they liked was a very strong light for reading.

I don't know the name or origin of the catalog any more. Maybe you can look around on the net and find it.

Or, you can subscribe to a large print publication for her. If she doesn't like to read, I am out of ideas.

Good luck!

3. I was going to go for high visibility golf balls, but my Mom suggested an audio book.

Now I'm thinking of a large print book or magazine.

2. There is a great site

called Independent Living that has a plethora of products.

Here's a sample:
