It has been estimated that 50 million people challenge themselves to the Daily Crossword puzzles in their local newspaper.

Statistics from the 2020 Vision Problems in Ohio report 97,870 people age 50 and older have age-related macular degeneration, a 10.5% increase since 2014.

That means there are thousands of people who are struggling or even giving up doing the crossword due to their own vision changes.

For over 20 years I’ve worked to show individuals who face vision changes that there are ways to continue doing the things they enjoy. Most importantly, maintaining their independence and quality of life!

During this demonstration, Roger wanted to be able to complete the crossword puzzle, read his financial statements, mail and prescription bottles. He was impressed he could trim his fingernails and even tighten the screw on his eye glasses!

Enhanced Vision Systems has something that can help you!

Mr. & Mrs. Shields have been married 67 years and they’ve loved every day! Through the years they’ve experienced their share of health concerns and everyday ups and downs. Jimmie said the secret is to be there for each other, listen and laugh together.

His vision changes effected his ability to continue reading and many other daily tasks.

He is an US Army veteran and received low vision services from his local VA. They assisted him with a hand-held magnifier, a portable digital magnifier, tinted prescription glasses and now the Acrobat HD Ultra 27”! He was most impressed with the easy of use and the lines and masks it offers the user.

Jim said he was looking forward to reading more books using the new Acrobat HD Ultra!!

It’s my pleasure to share Betty with you!
We met last week after her eye doctor shared my brochure with her. She shared she’d been searching for something to help her resume her own finances, reading mail and reading for pleasure.

Betty, like so many others today, has macular degeneration and it has complicated many of her daily living tasks. Betty’s friends have been volunteering to help her read her mail, write checks and read cooking instructions. During the visit, the trio was impressive with how easily Betty was able to accomplish all tasks she tried during our appointment.

I received a call from Betty the day after we met, she’d decided she needed the CCTV. Today, she purchased our Acrobat HD LCD 27”, plexiglass paperweight and the XY tray for easy reading and scanning materials.

I assisted her in setting the unit up in her office. She decided to put the machine in front of the window facing the road in front of her house. Until now, she’s been standing at the window watching for friends vehicles pull in the drive. Now, with the 3-1 camera, Betty was able to use the distance viewing to see drive and her mailbox with clarity.

When I left her home she was preparing to read a stack of mail from last week! 😊

Sandy and I met through her retina specialist. Over the last few years she’d been using lighted magnifiers to read small print. Sandy recalls even those magnifiers were not as effective as they once were.

I was able to introduce her to digital magnification today and it was an amazing experience for her! The Pebble HD was the one she found to meet her needs. She can take it out to read price tags and menus. At home she’s free to read her mail, devotional, television guide and much more.

“Bev, this magnifier is going to help me so much. I’m glad I called you!”

Dorothy is familiar with hand-held illuminated magnifier, but the recent change to a 7x she struggled to read one or two letters at a time.

Today was a wonderful experience for Dorothy, she had recently found a box of old letters between her and her family. She had attempted to read them with her magnifier and was quickly frustrated.

Today, while using the Merlin Ultra 20” she was very amused to read a letter she wrote to her parents when she was only 7 years old and staying with her aunt and uncle on their farm.

She and her daughter were impressed with the easy to move tray and quality image. She found reading enjoyable again!

This week I delivered a Merlin Ultra to this kind veteran, Mr. Lucas. He served years in the service, married the woman of his dreams, raised their children and lived a ”good life” he said. His wife has passed away and his children have grown and given him grand children and much joy.

His vision began to fail then things started to change and things became challenging for him to remain independent. His one comfort was reading the Bible during those quiet times.

After we set the Merlin Ultra up in his new condo the first thing he wanted to read was the “Word”, with a huge smile he said; “You’ve done it, you solved my problems, thank you.”

I truly appreciate these experiences, working for Enhanced Vision and serving our veterans who proudly sacrificed so much for our country. Being a part of his and others journeys back to living in this beautiful printed world is a lesson in helping those in need, one that comforts me and those they love.
