The gifts on the list are all fully accessible and help people with low vision continue to lead active, independent lives. AFB's Holiday Guide also offers travel tips to share with a visually impaired loved one, in addition to tips on how to make a home more vision loss friendly this holiday season. You can visit AFB's Holiday Guide on AFB Senior Site(R) (AFB's web site designed to help older Americans and their family members cope with age-related eye diseases) at www.afb.org/seniorsite/holidayguide.

Examples of what readers will find in AFB's Holiday Guide

Fun gift ideas

  • Large print playing cards or large print Scrabble(R) for the game lover on your list.
  • Audio books on cassette or CD for the bookworm in your family.
  • Movies with descriptive video narration and a large button universal TV remote control for your favorite couch potato.

Holiday travel tips to pass on to a loved one with vision loss

  • Be sure to identify yourself ahead of time as having a visual impairment.
  • Memorize your identification numbers, charge card numbers, passport number, and bank number. Or you may want to set up a system to get them easily should you lose your wallet.
