Your low vision specialist can assist in helping you select the make that is best for you and then teach you how to use it.Here are some questions to ask the specialist:
1. Will CCTV (closed circuit television) technology be helpful for me? 2. Which system do you recommend? 3. How will the system be used and for what purposes? 4. What features does it offer? 5. How large is the monitor? Does it offer a color screen or just black and white? If you decide to purchase one yourself on line (which I don't recommend) be sure to ask about the return policy.
