Perhpas my most used tool is pen type flashlight I keep in my pocket to shine on things I need to read. Next is audiobooks from audible.com I can listen to instead of having to try and read. Next is gooseneck lamp my be computer that I can position to shine bright light on documents. Next is changing computer to high contrast with while letters on black background (Note sometimes I have to switch back because not all websites honor disability screen settings). Next are clocks in bedroom and kitchen with 2 inch digital time display so I don't have to find light to see watch or zoom in on small digits.

I am 75 and have advanced glaucoma, will have a xen gel stent surgery tomorrow. Thank you for sharing what helps you. I have tried changing my computer to high contrast and I wish that it was even more contrast One thing I have trouble with is curbs. It really helps if the curb is painted. Often I cannot tell when to step down,
