"As an Ophthalmologist working in the field of low vision rehabilitation, I have had considerable experience with patients who have widely varying degrees of vision loss.
One of the very effective tools to maximize residual vision is a device called the video magnifier (CCTV). This device can allow individuals with even severe vision loss to read small print effectively. It can dramatically improve the quality of life for many of the large and growing population of visually impaired people in this country. This device presents no health hazard and use of the device will not damage the eyes in any way".
