February is Low Vision Awareness Month—a time to educate and advocate for those with visual impairments. The Envision glasses, pictured here at NIB's AccessTech event earlier this year, are just one example of the assistive technology helping individuals with low vision navigate the world with greater independence. While low vision can’t be fully restored, tools like magnifiers, screen readers, and adaptive technology empower individuals to maintain their independence. #LowVisionAwareness #Envision #AssistiveTech #NIB #LowVisionAwarenessMonth
