Florida Vision Technology, a leading South Florida provider of assistive technology for the visually impaired and blind, is moving to a bigger location just in time to celebrate their 18th anniversary in South Florida.

(PRWEB) March 28, 2018

Florida Vision Technology offers a wide variety of aids and appliances that help seniors and others who suffer from Macular Degeneration, Diabetic Retinopathy and other retina diseases live more comfortable, convenient and independent lives. At the new Florida Vision Technology Store, a vast array of assistive technology products already lines the shelves and desks in every direction – everything from high-tech desktop video monitors to attractive talking watches and alarm clocks. Kretschmer adds, “For a person with low vision or blindness, it’s imperative for them to be able to test out the equipment and experiment with it. We also have expert staff available to help them and give instruction or training when needed.”

Kretschmer adds, “Technology has really leaped forward in this industry to bring us products that allow people to do things they couldn’t imagine before”. Kretschmer offers examples such as the Orcam MyEye 2.0 that reads text with the point of a finger, recognizes products, currency and even friends and family, or IrisVision, a headset that can help bring blurry details back into focus for those with low vision. “Imagine a grandparent using the headset to see their grandchild’s face for the first time,” Kretschmer says. All these products and more, are on display at the new Florida Vision Technology Store and ready for interactive demonstrations starting April 2nd.

The new office and Store are conveniently located at 2880 W. Oakland Park Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, 33311. To connect with Florida Vision Technology, visit their Facebook page to sign up for their newsletter, or stop by the new Store on April 2nd.
