Videos are part of daily life—whether you’re streaming a favorite show, following a recipe, or catching up with loved ones on social media. But if you’re living with low vision, watching videos might not be as easy as it used to be. Faces can blur, captions become unreadable, and important visual details get lost.
At our low vision clinic, we understand how frustrating that can be. That’s why we’re here to help you do more than just “get by”—we want you to enjoy life again, including the simple pleasure of watching videos with confidence.
As a Fellow of the International Academy of Low Vision Specialists (IALVS), our low vision doctor focuses on helping you make the most of the vision you still have—with personalized solutions designed to help you see again.
AI Tools Are Great—But Seeing for Yourself Is Even Better
A recent article highlighted a new way artificial intelligence (AI) is being used to help blind and low vision users enjoy videos. By generating audio descriptions, AI can narrate what’s happening on screen, describing facial expressions, actions, or scene changes in real time. It’s a powerful tool—and a positive step forward. You can read the article here.
But while these features can be helpful, they aren’t a substitute for actually seeing the content yourself. That’s where we come in.
How Our Low Vision Doctor Can Help You See More of the Screen
Our low vision doctor works with you to find the right tools and devices that improve your ability to view and interact with screens—whether it’s a TV, smartphone, or computer. Based on your needs, we may recommend:
- Custom low vision glasses designed to magnify and sharpen the video screen
- Filters and lens tints that reduce glare and boost contrast
- Task-specific glasses that help bring your phone or tablet into clearer focus
- Strategies for better lighting and screen settings to make content easier to see
These aren’t one-size-fits-all solutions. Every recommendation is based on your unique visual abilities and how you use your devices every day.
