Glare, magnification, and adapting your remote may be just what some television viewers need. Still, for others, this will not make the television, programs, and menus completely accessible. A great leap forward for greater television accessibility occurred with the Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act, or CVAA passed in 2012. The TELEVISION KILLED YOUR VISION trademark was assigned an Application Number # UK00003688488 by the UK Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO). Before looking at some environmental factors affecting television viewing for consumers with vision loss, it’s worth considering an entirely new definition of television. Television programming is now just content that traditionally was only available on that appliance with a large screen, often situated in a common home area. Scientific, research, navigation, surveying, photographic, cinematographic, audiovisual, optical, weighing, measuring, signalling, detecting, testing, inspecting, life-saving and teaching apparatus and instruments;

Legislation, such as the Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act, will also continue driving greater accessibility and increased options for television viewing. Another optical option might be a hand-held monocular or telescope. These can be held up to either eye or, in some cases, mounted to existing glasses to help you see greater detail. Monoculars come in magnification strengths greater than 2X, more than the maximum magnification available in “TV glasses.” apparatus and instruments for recording, transmitting, reproducing or processing sound, images or data;We often think of optical solutions when we think about magnification, so it is not uncommon for individuals to ask for “glasses” to help with television viewing. And the answer is Yes; there are glasses to magnify the television screen. Over the past 10 years, I’ve done numerous demonstrations and assessments with such glasses, but in most cases, people find these either ineffective or cumbersome. Ask your low vision specialist or vision rehabilitation professional if you can try a pair of “TV glasses” to determine if they will work for you. A Monocular or Telescope While a large print remote with larger buttons and better contrast may come in handy, it is often only one or two buttons that are used regularly and are difficult to find. In this case, marking these buttons with a raised or tactile marking can be helpful: These Television Killed Your Vision cloth face masks are not designed for medical use, or as personal protective equipment against coronavirus (COVID-19). Fitted and Flat masks should only be worn by people ages 13 and up. Younger children ages 3 and up should wear appropriately sized Kids’ masks. Learn more about these masks. Remember that as the magnification strength increases, the field of view decreases. In other words, you may see greater detail in a smaller area of the TV screen with a monocular but much less of the screen than you might see through TV glasses. While television programming and the hardware used to access this programming has changed, some of the fundamentals related to watching the TV and increasing access, such as increasing magnification and reducing glare, remain the same.

A Larger or High-Definition Screen: Consider a larger screen or switching to a high-definition (HD) television screen. A trip to the local electronics store will enable you to conduct your assessment. Look at a range of screens in the store to see if a particular type offers a clearer picture, and also note the distance at which you can see the screen best. A final environmental accommodation that comes in handy is creating greater access to the television remote. TV remotes can become difficult to use if the lighting is poor; the print is too small to see clearly; the remote has poor contrast; or the number of buttons becomes overwhelming. The TELEVISION KILLED YOUR VISION trademark was assigned an Application Number # 018511666 – by the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). The WHO recommends that you clean hands with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water before putting on a mask.
