Electronic devices, such as closed-circuit television (CCTV), greatly assist people with low vision in improving their daily functioning and maintaining their independence. These technologies allow for significant magnification of text, images, and objects, while customizing size, contrast, and colors to suit the unique needs of the user.
Closed Circuit Television (CCTV):
The device incorporates a camera that captures text or objects and projects them onto a screen. The user can magnify the image, change the contrast, and choose between color or monochrome mode. This technology allows you to read books, fill out forms, view family photos, and even engage in hobbies such as sewing or drawing.
Many of today's devices are integrated with smart technologies, which allow connection to tablets or smartphones and expand the possibilities of use.
In addition to CCTV, there are similar devices such as electronic glasses that combine smart cameras, mobile electronic towers, and digital applications that allow easy use even outside the home.
There are different types of devices and each can be adapted to the individual needs of a person with difficulty.
Each type of CCTV is tailored to a different need:
Long reading, engaging in hobbies such as solving crossword puzzles or art, working with small objects.
Support for orientation in private space, such as identifying medications and reading prescriptions.
Assistance with employment and workplaces or with studies at school or university

It should be noted that holders of a blind certificate have a refund of up to 50% of the cost of the devices.
