Discover Low Vision Devices

Enjoy exploring this collection of sites that sell assistive technology products specifically for people with low vision or legal blindness. This is by no means meant as a comprehensive list, but as a resource to get you started with your exploration of the range of available low vision devices on the market.

  • This list excludes blindness only products such as braille displays in order to focus on those that assist VIP’s in making the most use out of their remaining vision.
  • An asterisk in front of a manufacturer/vendor indicates I have had personal experience with some of their products and consider them providers of high-quality, effective equipment.
