Dear Fedi, advice and suggestions please! My father is losing his eyesight due to age-related macular degeneration; he has some peripheral and distance vision left, but almost no near vision, and is for example unable to read either screens or print. Might anyone have any ideas for making his life easier, either with assistive technologies (which is the best screen reader?) or general tips for navigating daily life?
Boosts for reach welcome!
❤️

@mothninja Virginia has this resource: https://www.virginia.gov/agencies/department-for-the-blind-and-vision-impaired/ and they were immensely helpful in finding things that helped my mother see better when she went through this. I hope your state/area has something similar.
@DaleOh thank you! I'm really glad they were able to help your mother :)
@mothninja I forgot to mention: in Virginia, this service is free.
