Step 2 – How do you find the best light for someone with low vision
Is there a such thing as “too much light” for someone with low vision? The answer is, “YES.” Though many people with low vision require more light to function, they often experience discomfort or fatigue from too much of a good thing. So, how do you find the balance? I can help. Check out this video to learn the strategies for optimizing light for function, while reducing glare for comfort.

Super helpful. Appreciate you showing what it should look like.
This video was an asset to me. Thnx. Losing sight due to DM. Gardening has always been my passion. I am going to miss seeing my blossoms.
Hi Jaz,even though I am legally blind adult lady with limitee vision,I put mascarq on my eye brows,lipstick on my lips,I moisterise my face and I put a 50 sunscreen on my face.I can't use eye shaddow on my eyes because I get infection in my eyes from it.
I had a friend who used to say: “I’d like to cook my own food because, if I find one hair, I know it’s mine and it’s clean.
I forgot to tell you: To poor things like batter, I use an ice cream scoop. I have a four measurements of ice cream scoop and I use a different measurement for different things and that has proven really efficient for me. After all, all you have to do is aim a little spoon into the cup and that helps a lot. I hope this helps.
Hey, that’s a great idea. Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations! As a blind person, I find it really encouraging that people like you are doing this kind of activities to show blind and visually impaired people that things are possible. I don’t like to use cake mixes or mixed ingredients that come from the store (I’d like to know what I’m eating and what I’m cooking). Those, you make me feel great that I’m not the only one who likes to cook, but you can do things in the kitchen that most people think we cannot. God bless you and keep it up
Thank you so much for your kind words of encouragement. I am happy to know. I have a kindred spirit out there. Keep cooking.🍽️🍽️
Thank you, I have just gotten into gardening because my mom has heart failure and can’t do it herself. She loves her garden and she is known for having one of the prettiest gardens in the neighborhood. Do you have any ideas though on how to keep critters away from things like her peach tree? We tried putting chimes on there, and a fake snake, but nothing was working. She lives in Florida. I normally live in Greece, and I’m thinking I might do some gardening in Greece as well, I’m just trying to figure out ways to do things right now. Also, when birds or animals have been at your plants or tomatoes etc., is it very easy to tell just by feel? I am using things like be my AI, and can’t wait till the video assistant comes out in a few weeks time. But as you say, I’m having to do quite a bit by field. I am almost totally blind.
Well, unfortunately, I don’t have a quick fix for this one. I find the best method for detecting damage to plants, fruits, or vegetables is to use good old-fashioned sense of touch. Peaches are just plain messy and they are going to continue attracting critters. You might want to consider adopting a cat to police your yard. I know that sounds funny, but it could potentially help the situation.😼
Hi Jaz,I also do the same techniques in my home that you are talking about in your video,for me the worst thing that I have a problem staying safe and secure and familuar is in a hospital room whenever I am admitted into thr hospital due to illnesses.The nurses make me jumpy and to many things going on and objects in the way on the wards which is due to me being visually impaired with limited vision and I do use a white cane.What kind of tips and ideas can I do to orient myself and for the doctors and nurses can help guide me or help me out in some way on the ward during my recovery
Great video Jazz to use for NV class, thanks for sharing :)
Thanks Robyn. So glad you enjoyed it and find it useful.
it is challenging with OCD amd a visual impairment.
Hi! There can certainly be some challenges with OCD. However, I think there can be benefits as well, especially if you are very neat and organized. This can be a real benefit to you as a person with vision loss.
Thank you souch. Cooking meat while blind is the most difficult thing to find useful tips on. Did you do one for chicken or stew meat? Thanks again!!
Not yet, but that’s a good idea. I will add it to my list.
Great tutorial! I have seen videos where women put on lipstick in the same way you do your gloss and when they rub it around with their lips, the lipstick never goes out of the lip line. It's a pretty amazing trick. I am not blind but watched your video out of curiosity. You are wonderful!
Well, thank you… Your comment made me smile.😊
i have a different system that i use, i have two laundry baskets, one for tops, jumpers and trousers/leggings, another for underware and nightware, when i do my washing, i have the tops, jumpers and trousers/leggings in one basket, this load i put on a fast wash, as i have a bump on stuck on the dial which i can use to line up with the numbers and i can feel and count the number of clicks, for underware, i put it on either number 5 or number 6, which are long wash cycles, and for bedding and towels i put on number 6, which is a 60 degree wash, the advantage of my machine is that it is also a tumble drier, so i can put it on number 12, i only use this setting for underware, towels and bedding
Sounds like you have a system that works just right for you. That’s awesome. Thanks for sharing it on this channel. :-)
I have just found your channel, and I’m really enjoying your videos. Such good Strategies in this one. Would you consider doing more housecleaning type videos? I have always had cited family close by, so have never really developed good skills when it comes to cleaning up animal and human messes, particularly on carpet.
Great idea, Amanda. I will add it to my list. So happy to know that you are enjoying the content and finding it helpful. You’ve got this.😄
Your sound quality is amazing! How do you make these videos? Also, do you have videos about electric stoves? I ‘that live with a gas one anymore so it is tricky finding out which burner is which. But thank you so much for making this. I love omelettes and you have gained new sub!
Great idea. I’ll have to do a video on electric stoves. So glad to know you’re watching and enjoying the content. The key to good sound is a good microphone. Hope you keep watching.
@@Insight4blind Any that might work with an iphone? I don't have a full studio lmfao and not seeing gets in the way of great visuals.
Hi Jaz, how long will the prepared omelettes keep in the fridge? Can you freeze them? If so, how do you reheat them out of the fridge or freezer?
Hi I have eaten them over the course of three or four days but I haven’t tried freezing them. Let me know if it works for you. Thanks for watching. Glad to know you’re enjoying the content and find it useful. :-)
Does this time create an over easy to over medium egg? Suggestion on time for each.
This is a difficult question to answer since everyone’s opinion on the perfect over easy egg is different. I suggest that you tested yours yourself as demonstrated in the video then add or subtract time accordingly to make the egg that is perfect for you. Enjoy!
When you were putting the eyeshadow on your fingers were in the way, I'm legally blind and. I'm 63 and when I did wear makeup I only will blush and mascara and lipstick. Now I want to learn. Thank you for the video it was very helpful.
I love hearing this. You made my day. I hope you keep learning new things to make life. More interesting with vision loss. No worries. You’ve got this. :-)
Hi Jaz, enjoyed this helpful way to make omelettes. Do these freeze well? What rack level did you use in the oven?
I haven’t tried freezing them, but I would love to know how it works for you if you give it a try. I use the rack in the middle of the oven. Thanks for watching.
I was wondering what would be the best light fixture to stick to the wall in the basement where the washer and dryer are?My mom,nephew and I rent a three bedroom townhouse and the ceiling light string broke.I am short and there is no chair for me to stand on and even if I stood on a chair I still can't reach the light fixture.Would a stick on light be ok to give enough light in the basement by the dryer that can be pressed to give the area enough brightness for me to do my laundry
Absolutely. There are many options for you. I suggest going to Lowe’s or Home Depot and checking out their lighting aisle. Look for an LED light that can peel and stick to the wall. You might even want to consider tape lights. They are thin and narrow, but they peal in stick and can be very bright. Some even work off of a remote which might be ideal for your situation. If you don’t find something at the Home Depot or Lowe’s I suggest going to Amazon online to view your options. Good luck.
Thank you
You're welcome
This is great info for keeping memories alive, thanks Jazz
Thanks for watching. So glad to know it was helpful.😄
THIS IS A CREAT FEATURE, AND YOU MAKE IT LOOK SO EASY.

Hi Jaz, thanks for sharing this video. I was looking for one of your other videos and came across this. I am going through frying an egg with someone next week so this was perfect! You always explain things so clearly, I always learn loads from you!
Thank you. I came across this comment this morning. You really made my day. Hope your eggs turned out deliciously.🍳🍳
@@Insight4blind The lesson worked so perfectly. The person I was working with had never cooked anything before so I felt very privileged to be the first person to teach him anything about hobs and saucepans. We had one beautifully fried egg and one happy tummy x

I’m sorry that I missed this comment when you first sent it. Just came across it this morning. If you look at the videos under little insights, I did produce a video on how to trim a cat. Let me know how it goes. I would love your feedback.
Hi jaz,I will let you know how I groom my cat Misty after I find a way to groom her.I found a grooming glove on Amazon that will take out lose fur in a safe way.I am going to buy it on Amazon in couple of days or so with the help of my niece.What do you think of the grooming gloves to groom cats?
At night in the dark I have a problem in the dark at night so I stay home
I understand your fear, but I hope that you can get to a place where you do not allow your fears to keep you from living life to the fullest. There are many things you can do to keep functioning in the dark. People who are totally blind, do it every day. I suggest that you look for blind services in your area so you can find an orientation and mobility specialist to work with you. Such a professional will be able to teach you how to stay independent and mobile in any type of lighting. Good luck. Keep moving…🧑🏼🦯
I know the inside of my house and I do not go outside at night until the next day then I go on my walks and on the buses to the local mall and back home while using my white cane.I now have a lighted night light that uses two batteries that brightens up the stairs going into the kitchen and back to my room,so now it is much easier to get around the inside area of my house.
Thank you for the advice insight4blind I appreciate it a lot
I am sensitive to bright lights etc and I wear over glasses sunglasses that work well for me
I just recently got my new led lighted 4x magnifier that I use to read books and magazines
That’s wonderful. The right magnifier can make such a huge difference for independence. Glad to know you have tools for success.
Hi Jaz,How can I luminaire the basement area that only have 2 small light bulbs that are not that bright but there is no light sockets or light bulbs by the washer and dryer area so I have to search for an area of light at an angle that I can do my laundry.I use a stool to take out my laundry out of the washer but folding my clean clothes is more difficult but I can it done.

dear jazz how does a blind person cut their nails and toe nails ?
Hi Margaret. If you have a good feeling in your fingertips and hands, you should be able to clip your nails by using your sense of touch. Take your time and gently squeeze the clipper to be sure you know where the sharp edges are before you pinch all the way down. You might want to start by just clipping the tips and then taking a file to file and shape the nail down to the length you prefer. No worries. You’ve got this.

how can a blind person can iron longsleeve shirts and short sleeve shirts
Hi Margaret. Did you check out my video on ironing? It’s not difficult to do. You just need to use your sense of touch to make sure your seams and creases are laid out. Smooth before ironing. It’s a very tactual task. Just be careful and take your time. You’ve got this.
Love this and a great insight into sight loss assisted technology. Many thanks.
you’re welcome 😁
hey jaz can a blind person use a cane to avoid accidents in the home
Hi Margaret. Yes, you can use your cane in your home to avoid obstacles, but most people prefer not to use it in such familiar territory. Usually, people develop internal Mabs in their minds that help them remember where the obstacles are in familiar territory. However, if your environment is constantly changing, do two small children, who may have toys that are constantly moving around, the cane may be a good idea for extra protection. It’s up to the individual. Whatever makes you feel most comfortable and keeps you safe. Hope this helps.🦯
