You loved the holiday gift guide in November, so we are here in December
with an encore. Here are some more products, both practical and fun, to add
to your gift-buying list. Some items were created with blind or low vision
customers in mind, while others come from the mainstream market.

*	Vision Technology in Clinical Trial Phase: New Approaches to AMD
Treatment and Sight Restoration, by Bill Holton

=7602f1139c&e=c806462bb1> 
We present two advances in vision research in this article. The first is a
new medication approach to treating Advanced Macular Degeneration (AMD), and
the second is the first step toward creating vision without an optic nerve,
or even an eye.

*	Accessible Diabetes Management Strategies for Enjoying the Holidays,
by Jamie Pauls

Many popular holiday foods will send a diabetic's blood sugar soaring into
the stratosphere. It's important for a diabetic to make wise choices as to
what, and how much, they will eat. This article contains suggestions for the
diabetic with a visual impairment that will help in this ongoing journey.

*	Keeping It Portable: Comparing Braille Displays on iOS Devices, Part
II, by Scott Davert

=2a6f322173&e=c806462bb1> 
In Part I of this series, I examined the Refreshabraille and Smart Beetle.
In this article, I will be reviewing the Braille Pen Touch and the Focus 14.
Both of these displays offer some unique functionality at slightly different
price points.

*	Not Yet the Holy Grail: A Review of the ElBraille from VFO, by
Deborah Kendrick
<https://afb.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=bd3c8fefc9f905f5ccf41c577&id
=43db3dddef&e=c806462bb1> 
This month, we review the El Braille from VFO Group. Some will find the
absence of a screen and/or QWERTY keyboard sacrifices not worth making.
Others will, however, welcome this as the closest yet to that holy grail of
braille computers.
