<p>There are a number of simple vision aids, such as magnifiers and binoculars, which are designed to help people with vision loss to identify objects more easily. The Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) offers a number of vision aids, which range in price from about $10 to $65 (CDN). Here is a direct link to <a href="https://cnibsmartlife.ca/collections/in-the-home" target="_blank">CNIB’s vision aid selection</a>. </p> <p>The VoiceOver (iPhone) or TalkBack (Android) features, available on most smartphones and tablets, have also made it possible for people with visual impairments to make use of a number of helpful apps. Below you will find direct links to instructions on how to activate VoiceOver and TalkBack on your smartphone:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.imore.com/how-use-voiceover-iphone-and-ipad#activate" target="_blank">VoiceOver for Apple Devices</a></li> <li><a href="https://support.google.com/accessibility/android/answer/6007100?hl=en" target="_blank">TalkBack for Android Devices </a></li> </ul> <p>If your dad is comfortable using a smartphone or tablet with an accessibility feature enabled (e.g. VoiceOver or TalkBack), he may be interested in exploring an app that is designed to help people with vision loss to identify objects.
