I suggest Python from
http://python.org

It has an English-like syntax so is closer to COBOL than a C-based 
language with a lot of punctuation symbols.  Your low vision will 
probably help you manage the required indentation, also similar to 
COBOL, which can be one of the most challenging aspects for blind 
beginners of the language.
