My vision has slowly deteriorated through the years. Today, I can no longer read, drive, or even write anything by hand. What’s worse, I can’t even write my name legibly. I’m thankful for a husband who understands my limitations and has my power of attorney.
There are a lot of products out there that claim they will help people with visual impairments, but many of them are a waste of money. Believe me, I’ve wasted some money over the years! I purchase very little unless someone I know and trust recommends it.
This brings me to my new glasses.
Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses can do so much for those of us who are visually impaired. They don’t replace a white cane, but they can help us read, which was the main reason I wanted them.
I have a difficult time reading what’s on my computer screen, and I’ve already discovered that my glasses can read it aloud. They can also read recipes, mail, labels, and other printed materials. I can even make phone calls through my glasses. How neat is that!
Another wonderful discovery is that I can listen to my Kindle books through my glasses using the Kindle app’s Assistive Reader feature on my iPhone. I can enjoy a book while we’re traveling, while my husband watches television, or while I’m doing things around the house. Best of all, it’s hands-free!
My glasses came from Amazon. I no longer wear prescription glasses, but prescription lenses are available for those who need them.
So far, I’m very happy with my purchase. These glasses don’t restore my vision, but they help me become more aware of the world around me. They give me another way to enjoy things I thought I had lost.
I wish I’d had them the last time I went to Scotland. Just imagine what I could have learned about those beautiful old castles!
Have a blessed day!

That is awesome, Kathy! I’m so glad you discovered those!
They are great! Pam has them also, and we’re both learning. So far, I love them.
