Safety issues for the blind individual?  Uh, I'm a wee bit confused here.  It's your home; therefore, why be concerned about safety issues beyond what any other sinsable person would be?

I'm not necessarily critical of what you said; rather, just trying to understand it better.

I donnnn't have a hd tv. Our son doesn't think it is a big deal. My appliances are labeled and he can still run them. Furniture is placed so that people can watch tv but that also had to work in the design of the room. I wouldn't make extravagant changes for the sake of sight alone and if people are there infrequently or almost never I wouldn't do it at all.
