Tired of Living in Limbo?

For far too long the low vision community has been largely ignored in today’s society. We’re living between two worlds; the world of the sighted and the world of the totally blind. Mainstream technology companies mostly design products with sighted people in mind, whereas Accessible Technology companies mostly design stuff for the totally blind.

Aside from a few exceptions such as AI Squared, no one is doing anything to help! Well, I don’t know about you but… I’m tired of living in limbo!

A Soap Box For The Low Vision Community

This website is a place for us to air our complaints and grievances about the state of tech for people with poor eyesight. This is where you can blow off steam and be heard by fellow members of our community. I hope to make LowVisionRants.com the place to go when you feel alone and unheard.

Helpful Content

LowVisionRants.com posts blogs, podcasts, and videos that will center on the problems of people who have limited vision, and provide helpful hints and tricks to overcome those hurdles. This content is made for the visually impaired, by the visually impaired. No overly sympathetic, placating, or insulting baby-talk here!

More often than not, you find well intentioned yet unhelpful or demeaning websites that try to help. The problem is that most of this content is made by sighted folks who don’t really understand the position that people with low vision are in. We understand because we struggle with these annoyances every day and want to pass on whatever knowledge we’ve gained onto others.
