Low vision aids

Being diagnosed with a macular condition can leave you worrying about how you will cope with everyday tasks. You may be concerned about losing your independence and not being able to enjoy activities like reading or cooking. Having macular disease needn’t mean losing control of your life. A growing range of equipment called ‘low vision aids’ could help you to cope better.
