My 96 year old mom is a very talented artist and an author & avid reader. She developed AMD about 5 years ago and it was devastating to lose access to these activities. My sister found an Orcam device that mounts to the side of your glasses (about the size of a jump drive). You point to the text you want to read, it scans the text & converts it to audio. Mom loves that it restores her access to books & letters that people write to her. It’s not cheap but it’s worth checking out.

Thanks. I’m glad your mom found a good solution. I’m not quite to that point yet, but probably in the future. Both my grandma and uncle (her son) went blind from glaucoma in their early to mid 90s and were completely blind by their late 90s! My dad had glaucoma, but he passed in his mid 70s. All three used drops to control the eye pressure, but, in the end, it got to Oma and Uncle.

Of all things, I don’t have high eye pressures! Knock on wood.
