Will it work on my eReader?"Verdict: Printed in a large, dark font, this book provides basic, valuable, just-in-time information for those individuals facing vision loss, especially older adults. Highly recommended" — Library Journal Express
"All of us who deal with low vision patrons were absolutely delighted to see this book come along. I think the book is a fantastic resource." —Dodie Frisbie, Outreach Librarian, Niles (Illinios) Public Library District
"The book is informative, well-written, and practical. A lot of research, thought, and effort has gone into this book, and the result is excellent." —Dorothy J. Horns, MD, Southdale Eye Clinic, Edina, Minnesota
“A brilliant book not to be missed by anyone with low vision and their caregivers. From the moment I opened this book, I knew I was in good hands. To my delight, I could read it! The size and blackness of the print, the paper quality, the careful spacing of words, lines, and margins—all contribute to its readability for me, a person with low vision. The chapter on improving reading ability intrigued me first, in that it is personally my biggest challenge at present. It was so helpful that I decided to read the book from cover to cover. Helpful hints for daily living about everything from cooking to personal grooming to aid in writing a check abound on each page. Even though my vision deterioration results from a rare condition affecting the macula, pathological myopia, rather than the more common macular degeneration, the strategies for dealing with vision challenges definitely apply to me. Now the book has become a reference manual for me, aided by the excellent index and appendix. Finally, the book encourages me to become a creative problem solver as I meet new challenges.” —Marquita O’Connor
