Quick Tips

COMMUNICATION – BRAILLE: There is a new Web Site that can assist you step by step in writing to a blind friend, even though you don’t know braille.

For a tour of the site visit www.HotBraille.com

SPEAKING OF WEB SITES: Please check the ISPB site at www.eyehealthillinois.org. We are adding materials on a regular basis. Don’t forget that you can financially contribute to the ISPB via our Web Site, too.

NIGHT VISION: Auto experts say dirty headlights can reduce night vision by as much as 75 percent. Please clean your headlights just in case.

TALKING LABELS: Help is on the way for the visually impaired and others who have difficulty reading the instructions on prescription bottles. The ScripTalkJ Talking Prescription System is in field trials with the U.S. Veterans Administration Hospitals, with results being made available shortly. A pilot study will be conducted in the Chicago area in the near future. We’ll keep you posted.

The Visionary, published as a service of the Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness,
is available upon request. The information contained in this issue,
