As a director of a low vision clinic with nearly 40 years of experience, I am well aware of the issues encountered by individuals who cannot access information related to medication.  Often this impacts individuals who are taking many prescription medications and the inability to accurate order medications, identify prescriptions and read directions and precautions can lead to life-threatening consequences.  Additionally, managing medications is critical to maintaining ones independence and avoiding the transition to an assisted living or nursing home residence.
