New Inexpensive CCTV at CSVR!
In our continuing
effort to obtain the
best aids and
devices for our
clients, and with
the help of the
Macular
Degeneration
Foundation, we
have obtained a
high quality
affordable alternative to the expensive desktop
CCTV.
The magnifier is a hand-held video magnifier
which connects to a standard TV. It features a
wide range of magnification, white on black,
black on white and normal color. It has a
freeze frame. It is easy to use and light. And,
best of all, it is inexpensive - only $90.
First visit to our Clinic
Patients will be seen by appointment only. No
drop-in visits will be accepted. The patient,
their caregiver or agency, or a medical
practitioner will make an appointment for an
initial evaluation by one of the medical doctors
or optometrists (M.D./O.D.) on the staff. The
appointment will be scheduled in a timely and
efficient manner.
Patients are encouraged to have a family
member or friend with them during the initial
visit. Any glasses or magnifiers that are used
should be brought to the clinic on the initial
visit. If any particular piece of written material
or task is a problem, a sample could be
brought along. Contact Us if you have any
questions.
Many aids, devices and magnifiers are
available. At CSVR, we have an extensive
inventory of devices and magnifiers. Indeed,
there are so many that it is important that the
person with low vision have a complete
evaluation by a low vision specialist to
determine which is best suited for that
individual. If a person just buys a magnifier,
they will usually buy the wrong one. It may be
too weak, too strong, or not the right type.
Possibly less expensive or simpler devices may
be available.
Therefore, we perform a full evaluation (see
initial visit) before selling any devices. This
greatly increases the probability of obtaining
exactly the right devices for each individual.
Variety of devices and magnifiers in
our offices
Some very simple changes or devices may help
make life easier for people with low vision.
Better lighting, improved contrast, avoiding
clutter and simple markers may be as helpful
than expensive magnifiers. Large print (as, the
large print checks below) often help. Our
Occupational Therapist will help with all of
these.
Large print checks help in
managing personal finances
Large TV remote, kitchen timer, and
talking calculator are a few of the many
large or talking devices available
Very large number calculator
Much stronger glasses - up to 10
times as strong as normal glasses -
are available at our offices.
“Sports glasses” allow for
distant viewing
Many hand held magnifiers, with or
without lighting , are available at our
offices.
Electronic magnifiers (CCTVs) greatly
enlarges print and displays it on a
monitor.
A small, portable “pocket” electronic
magnifier for those "on the go"
Computer screen magnifiers and
readers allow those with even total
blindness to continue computer access
Recently developed are the highly portable,
very light electronic magnifiers (CCTVs)
that connect to and powers off of the USB
port of laptop computers - so called “USB
CCTVs”
