Product Information

Try to be patient with yourself when learning to use the prescribed device. Like any other skill, learning to read with a low-vision device requires regular practice over many weeks. Perhaps even more important than the type of light is the position of the light—particularly the distance from the lamp to the task you are doing or to your eye. Bring the lamp closer to help maximize the light delivered to the task and your eye. It is recommended that you try on a range of colors and styles during the low vision examination to determine which color or colors work best for you.

Rehabmart is pleased to offer an ever expanding collection of innovative writing and reading aids from leading vendors in the field, including North Coast, Sammons Preston, Maddak, LSS, MaxiAids, Grip Solutionsand Nexis Preparedness Systems.

Colored Acetate Sheets

I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble, that sounds really frustrating. So just to clarify, are you adding ink on one side and color on the other? Or are you adding color and ink to only one side? I just want to make sure I understand before giving you too many recommendations! When working on a non-absorbent surface like acetate, coloring mediums act very differently. Many water-based mediums require absorption into the surface for the medium to dry. But acetate isn’t one of these surfaces. Because of this, you need to use a coloring medium that will dry on a non-absorbent surface. The Best (and Worst) Coloring Mediums for Acetate

Our acetate film and sheets are 100% petroleum-free and certified as 100% compostable. Acetate is categorized alongside paper and board for return and recovery purposes; it can be recycled, composted or incinerated without releasing any toxic chemicals. Proper lighting is critical for good vision. As we age, a person age 65 or older probably needs 15 times as much light to read as does a 10-year-old. And importantly, a person with low vision may need three times as much light to read as a person their age who does not have a vision loss. Therefore, flexible-arm desk or floor task lamps are perhaps the most helpful and important non-optical devices for many people. A flexible-arm desk lamp They can be used on ovens and stoves, washer and dryer dials, thermostats, microwaves, phones, calculators, and countless other applications. You need to think about not layering color on color but blending colors into colors. If you choose to blend one color on top of another, you may see some of the color layers, but it won’t be as vibrant. Writing and reading aids comprise a diverse assortment of adaptive and assistive products and equipment that enable children, adults and seniors to more easily read and write. Whether the reading and writing are done on the computer or with books and manual writing devices, there are numerous aids to help users to read and write more easily and effectively.

Grafix Acetate is also 100% biodegradable! All of acetate’s main components are produced from natural wood pulp and cotton, rather than fossil fuels. No food-based agriculture is used to make our acetate sheets and film; the wood pulp is sourced from SFI (Sustainable Forestry Initiative®) managed plantations, which typically plant more trees than are harvested to ensure no endangered hardwoods are used up. They bring reading and writing materials closer to your eye, thus helping to achieve “relative distance” magnification: enlarging letters and words by bringing them closer. Because they come in various sizes and shapes (usually round or square), touch dots can help locate a specific setting on a dial, control, or device. I find that most of the inks, especially the PITT pens and similar, they need a good amount of drying time so that they don’t smudge. I usually leave them for at least 5-10 minutes before seeing if they smudge. Because you are working on a non-absorbent surface, it’s going to take them longer to set up.

When choosing a medium for coloring on acetate, it’s important to understand the properties of your mediums. Will it work on non-absorbent surfaces? Is the medium water-based or oil based? Understanding the properties of your mediums goes a long way towards getting great results with coloring on acetate. Working on a Non-Absorbent Surface Be careful to position the light so that it does not shine directly into your eye and creates glare. A person with a stroke and resulting hemianopia (loss of half of the visual field) can benefit from a typoscope when reading. You’ll probably have to get used to holding the reading material much closer to your eyes than before. Reading at this very close distance may be uncomfortable at first, but it won’t hurt your eyes or cause your vision problem to become worse.

Properties are based on .005″/115um clear acetate film. Properties of other gauges and finishes can vary.

They help you see a wider field of view, or more lines and text at a time because the image is closer to your eye. As a polymer, acetate is very versatile. Not only is it used for making plastic sheets and film, but also for making tool handles, eyeglass frames, and as an component of many medical and food industry products. Features of Acetate Sheets and Film Low-vision non-optical devices can include a number of adaptations, such as reading stands, supplemental lighting, absorptive sunglasses, typoscopes, and tactile locator dots. They are often recommended as part of a low vision examination. They can be used in combination with magnifiers and other low vision optical devices that can help with reading and a variety of tasks. You may notice some differences at first when you begin to use your low-vision devices at home. It may be different from what you remember it was like during your low vision examination. Many people have this experience and sometimes believe that the doctor or low vision specialist sent them home with the wrong magnifier or reading glasses.You can find typoscopes, along with a variety of rigid and flexible signature guides in the links to sources of products section. It’s also important to realize that it often takes time, patience, practice, and much encouragement and support to successfully learn how to use all low-vision optical and non-optical devices. Family and friends can play an important role in encouraging you to be patient and to keep trying. They can also help you experiment with lighting, including different types and positioning, and to use the devices correctly as you were trained to do with the low vision specialist. Reading stands can help with both reading and writing by allowing you to position your reading and writing materials more effectively. Using a reading stand when you read or write with a flexible-arm task lamp and your stand magnifier or other optical devices will increase your success dramatically. One type of reading stand
