Living with visual impairment
A severe visual impairment confronts affected persons with many new challenges. For relatives of blind and visually impaired people, such as their children and grandchildren, the loss of sight of a close person also means a major adjustment. Many everyday activities become a problem and have to be relearned when the eyes cannot be used as usual. Special aids are needed to live as independently as possible and to experience everyday life with joy.
In our blog we write about topics that are important for independent living with blindness or visual impairment. Through our experience in counselling visually impaired people and developing assistive devices over the past years, we have built up extensive knowledge in this field. With practical tips and assistance in our articles, we not only want to give those affected possible solutions to everyday questions. Our blog also offers helpful information to relatives in their search for the right aid and information on how to cope with everyday life and help.
For example, you can find out in our blog under which conditions blind person's allowance can be applied for, how to design a kitchen for a non-sighted person or what gifts blind and visually impaired people might be happy about.

Living with visual impairment or blindness, living with Feelware
Are you blind or visually impaired and would like to live more independently? Do you know someone who is blind or visually impaired and would like to help them cope better with everyday life?
Visit our product pages to discover useful aids for independence and enjoyment of life. As a specialised supplier of accessible home appliances, Feelware offers the largest selection of accessible and talking home appliances for blind and visually impaired people.
Did you know that many household appliances can be retrofitted with speech output, making them easy to use for visually impaired and blind people? By announcing the settings for listening, one does not have to rely on reading, printed script, Braille or Braille when operating household appliances. With audible information on appliance settings as a voice announcement, people with visual impairments or blindness can operate their household appliances as safely as people with normal sight. Access to hot food and clean laundry thus becomes a matter of course even for people who cannot see or read the writing on the controls of household appliances.
In the cooking section you will find talking ovens and cookers. Information about accessible washing machines and dryers with speech output can be found in the Washing section.
In the videos on the product pages, we show examples of how useful talking ovens, washing machines and tumble dryers are and how they help people with visual impairments to live independently in their own homes for many years.
