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 My Dad has macular degeneration. He made his life easier by buying a brand new Chevy Impala. 🙄

Sorry, I know that's not helpful, but it is true. Maybe what I'm saying is that old boomers going blind have a tendency to justify whatever they want by leveraging their diseases in anti-social ways, and maybe be on the lookout for that.

I'm sure your Dad isn't like that though. Just mine. 😬
