Update since my last post

Went to the low vision specialist yesterday. So here is where things are right now. There is no fixing my distance vision. I was seeing things I was drawing if I want to do detail at about 6 inches. Well he was able to up my readig glasses to a 6 and I have a bit of a stigmatism. So now I can see about 9 or 10 inches away. So it is clearer and will help me draw. I take picturs of my subject then blow up different parts at a time to see what is going on. Also who ever was talking about the large letter skin for your computer keyboard. Thanks so much I got one right away. It is really making a difference. I tried some of the binocular stuff while there. But I didn't like how small the field of vision was. I have been using the seeingAI app which is free and amazing as well as my eye phone to see things closer I am drawing. I have not picked up a paint brush again yet as I though I sould woork on drawing again to see if can get a better chance when I try painting again.

So pleased to hear that the skin on your keyboard is helping. I just lifted mine to remind me what the keyboard looks like without the skin - I couldn't see one key!! It's one of the best purchases I have made.

I haven't heard of the seeingA1 App. I will have a look at that. Are you using the Acessabily on your iPhone. The built in magnifier that has a control button that sits on the "desktop" is very useful. I wouldn't be able to see anything on the iPhone without it.

Take care, wishing you lots of luck.

Wow. Great drawing! I draw and paint too. Always had vision issues but my love of art can’t be stopped. With your determination, perseverance and talent there will be no stopping you. Keep it up!

Best!!

Thank you so much. It's a challenge. But, like you being an artist is who I am not what I do.
