Typoscopes (pack of 3 reading guides) discontinued 
Many people with low vision experience "visual crowding" when trying to read everyday information or study a document. This happens when there is too much information crammed into a small area, making it difficult to concentrate on the section you want. White paper, especially when it is glossy may reflect light in such a way that it can also create a lot of glare.
A typoscope (reading guide) can help with this problem. It is a rectangular piece of black matt plastic card with a viewing slot cut out which can be placed over the text you want to read. This allows greater concentration on the text and cuts out the reflections from the white background.

  • Suitable for

    • The Reading Aid, with its slot at the top, should be placed over the first few lines of the text to be read. 
    • Read the text that appears in the Reading Aid viewing slot and move the Reading Aid down to continue reading the text.
    • When reaching the lower half of the page, it might be more convenient to turn the Reading Aid, so the slot will be in the lower half of the Reading Aid.
    • For best results, use a Reading Aid together with a good light illuminating the page. Avoid lights that shine directly into your eyes. A Reading Aid can also be used in conjunction with a magnifier, clipboard, or other low vision aids.
