My parents are both going blind. My mother has the greater visual impairment, but my father's mental acuity just took a nosedive and now she is having to take on more. I want to get them an Instant Pot, because I think it would make things a lot easier for them to manage. I know that the Instant Pot Pro Plus has voice commands, which seems perfect, but I cannot find anywhere selling those here. Looks like I will get them a V5. I can see it has tactile buttons, which is awesome, and a large screen. But what I would really like to know if anyone here has one that they use, and can help me figur ..read more

So i have a 3 year old and im totally blind. I find it hard to take my kid to the park; play centers, and other activities. If we are at the park, i cant see if hes playing nice with other kids or going to the street. He doesn't listen when i call him, so that makes it that much harder. I would like to take him out more often so any advice would be appreciated submitted by /u/SL2999 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I am an author by trade and nature and also a blind person. Couldn’t really find any info on community guidelines so I’m asking before I post… Can we submit NSFW content in this discussion and if so would it be okay if I post an erotic story written with a blind person as the subject of the story? If this content is not allowed here can someone point me to a group of blind peeps where this content would be allowed? submitted by /u/Raven_wolf_delta16 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

For years, I’ve been lying awake at night, watching a bright light get closer and closer until it fills my vision and won’t go away. It’s not floaters. It’s not phosphines. I’ve had both and I know what they look like. So I went to my doctor and told him about the bright light. And he said “I was wondering when this was going to happen for you.“ Charles Bonnet syndrome occurs in persons with vision loss who now have very low vision. My doctor explained it as sort of the equivalent of having a phantom limb. My vision has been cut off, so now I’m having phantom vision. Mary Ingalls from the Lit ..read more

So at some point in the recent flurry of updates, or maybe somewhere in my fiddling around with settings on my iPad, it developed this annoying habit that is driving me crazy. Whenever I don’t do anything for a few seconds and then resume activity, VoiceOver will reduce its volume to barely a whisper. After a second or two the volume goes back up to what I actually had it set to. This feels like something some clever bean at Apple introduced on purpose so VoiceOver doesn’t just start blaring at you unexpectedly, but I absolutely despise it and it is adding to my general sense of disappointmen ..read more
