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 @lydiaschoch my mum had a similar eye problem and we were astonisbed to find that a dyalexic font, with white text on black, large size,.suddenly helped her see whole words, where she'd been seeing fragments!
Both Kindle and Libby (the library e-reader) have dyslexic font options!
Best of luck 🙏.
