They are generally inexpensive and are readily available at stationery, office supply, and “big box” stores. They help you see a wider field of view, or more lines and text at a time because the image is closer to your eye. It is recommended that you try on a range of colors and styles during the low vision examination to determine which color or colors work best for you. Writing and reading aids comprise a diverse assortment of adaptive and assistive products and equipment that enable children, adults and seniors to more easily read and write. Whether the reading and writing are done on the computer or with books and manual writing devices, there are numerous aids to help users to read and write more easily and effectively. You’ll probably have to get used to holding the reading material much closer to your eyes than before. Reading at this very close distance may be uncomfortable at first, but it won’t hurt your eyes or cause your vision problem to become worse.I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble, that sounds really frustrating. So just to clarify, are you adding ink on one side and color on the other? Or are you adding color and ink to only one side? I just want to make sure I understand before giving you too many recommendations! Low-vision non-optical devices can include a number of adaptations, such as reading stands, supplemental lighting, absorptive sunglasses, typoscopes, and tactile locator dots. They are often recommended as part of a low vision examination. They can be used in combination with magnifiers and other low vision optical devices that can help with reading and a variety of tasks. They can be used on ovens and stoves, washer and dryer dials, thermostats, microwaves, phones, calculators, and countless other applications. They bring reading and writing materials closer to your eye, thus helping to achieve “relative distance” magnification: enlarging letters and words by bringing them closer.

Because of the slippery surface of the acetate, sometimes the paint pens won’t start flowing easily. If this happens, write on a piece of paper to start the paint pen, and then move to the acetate surface.Properties are based on .005″/115um clear acetate film. Properties of other gauges and finishes can vary. Reading stands can help with both reading and writing by allowing you to position your reading and writing materials more effectively. Using a reading stand when you read or write with a flexible-arm task lamp and your stand magnifier or other optical devices will increase your success dramatically. One type of reading stand Be careful to position the light so that it does not shine directly into your eye and creates glare. Yellow-colored sunglasses are helpful for use indoors (reading, writing, doing handicrafts, using a computer) to reduce glare and enhance contrast. When choosing a medium for coloring on acetate, it’s important to understand the properties of your mediums. Will it work on non-absorbent surfaces? Is the medium water-based or oil based? Understanding the properties of your mediums goes a long way towards getting great results with coloring on acetate. Working on a Non-Absorbent Surface

Try to be patient with yourself when learning to use the prescribed device. Like any other skill, learning to read with a low-vision device requires regular practice over many weeks. Perhaps even more important than the type of light is the position of the light—particularly the distance from the lamp to the task you are doing or to your eye. Bring the lamp closer to help maximize the light delivered to the task and your eye.They can reduce bothersome glare, enhance or clarify vision in the sunlight, ease eye fatigue, and protect the eyes from injuries, such as walking into a low-hanging branch. You can find locator dots, along with a variety of other helpful marking materials in the labeling and marking section. Did you know that the term “acetate” is often – erroneously – used to refer to ANY plastic film or plastic sheet? That’s probably because acetate has been around since before World War I! In truth, acetate is something more specific. Acetate sheets and film are made of a specific type of plastic material called cellulose acetate, which is made from natural sources like wood pulp and cotton. I find that most of the inks, especially the PITT pens and similar, they need a good amount of drying time so that they don’t smudge. I usually leave them for at least 5-10 minutes before seeing if they smudge. Because you are working on a non-absorbent surface, it’s going to take them longer to set up.
