Here are tips for doctors and other health professionals for interacting with patients who are blind or have low vision.

A question for #blind and #visuallyimpaired people, but sighted people can answer too!
I was on the phone with my aunt today, who's blind, and she heard about the new Meta AI Raybans, theses glasses that can see and talk to you through #MetaAI.
Apparently right now only people in the USA, Canada and UK can directly ask questions to the AI about their direct surroundings. She lives in France.
But someone told her he connected these glasses to the free application Seeing AI, and that works great apparently.
I'd be very interested to know more about it, as I'll visit her soon and we could buy them and set them up together.
Has anyone tried them?
Thanks!

#DanMancina built a fully adaptive #skatepark near his #Michigan home for individuals who are #blind or #visuallyImpaired, as well as those with limited physical abilities or who use a #wheelchair. So very inspiring!

Last year I wanted to get back into #blackAndWhite #filmPhotography, after years of not feeling comfortable shooting my old Pentax, because of my vision.
I thought about getting the Pentax 17 for its zone focusing and economical use of film. I tried it at a store and it felt too much like a toy for its price and I didnāt like the viewfinder.
Instead, I got an Instax Mini for less money but with more self-confidence about its toy-ness. Iāve really been enjoying it.
Meanwhile, I decided to get a wider lens for the Pentax and shoot a couple of expired rolls of film. Estimating distances to use the scale and the lens and stopping does actually got me really good results. I found a local place that does pretty affordable development and scans - Iāve done those myself, but I donāt want to deal with chemistry these days.
So now I have two cameras to sink film money into. Hurray? I think so. I get a lot out of doing #photography, including the stubborn satisfaction of doing it while #visuallyImpaired.
In this post I share my journey to become a certified Salesforce Administrator with a vision impairment.
In my latest post I share my reaction to episode 2 of season 2 of āPlanes, Trains, and Canesā in this episode a blind professor documents her time at Machu Picchu Peru.
