Answer:

Low Vision Aid for Computer Users

Explanation:

Visually impaired people can use the same low vision aids for viewing a computer screen as they do for regular reading activities. These include eyeglass-mounted magnifiers, handheld magnifiers and stand-alone magnifiers. But also, special software has been developed to display content on the screens of computers and other digital devices in large print. Other applications can read text and other visual content aloud with a synthetic voice. These adaptive low vision devices let partially sighted people do the same computer-related tasks as fully sighted people — such as word processing, creating and using spreadsheets and viewing web pages online.
