Summary

This study tests whether remote training (telerehabilitation) works as well as in-person visits for helping adults with low vision use magnifiers and visual apps. It also uses small Bluetooth sensors to detect when people stop using their devices, so help can be offered sooner. The goal is to improve daily activities like reading, while reducing travel and access barriers.
