LOW VISION STORE
Vision loss of any kind may
compromise one’s ability to perform the most basic
of everyday tasks, such as reading, writing,
cooking, watching television, and driving. Today,
however,
 advances
in the design and availability of assistive
technologies have revolutionized living and learning
with vision loss. From voting to riding public
transit, persons affected by blindness or visual
impairment can live more independently, pursue a
broad range of education and employment
opportunities, and lead fulfilled, empowered, and
productive lives.
In the spirit of best
supporting such advancements, the Mississippi
Industries for the Blind (MIB) has opened the MIB
Low Vision Store at its Downtown Jackson
headquarters. The MIB Low Vision Store carries a
wide variety of assistive products, including:
- Braille and talking
watches
- Braille labelers
- Braille playing cards
and board games
- CCTVs
- Large-format and
talking calculators
- Large-format and
talking clocks
- LED magnifiers
- Magnification lamps
- Mobility aids
- Monocular scopes
- Reading glasses
- Screen magnification
and text-to-speech software
- Specialized cooking
utensils
- Sunglasses
- and much more!
The MIB Low Vision Store is
also happy to assist shoppers with special orders
for products not carried in-store.
If you need
any of these types of products, or know someone who
does, please come by the store at 2501 N. West in
Jackson, MS or call us at 601-984-3200. We are here
to help.
