I haven’t been here much lately and I may be here even less until I can get a new iPad. Some of you know that I am legally blind. The iPad is very visually impaired friendly. Mine has gone completely dead. Until I can get another iPad I will try to use my phone some, but the screen is very small and it is very difficult for me to see it.

@Tampa_girl7 - Until two years ago it was fine, but it's harder and harder to see clearly now.

I think many of us have a hard time seeing the screen.

I'm really sorry to hear that. My brother ended up totally blind but before that happened, he found switching his screen to white characters on a black background was helpful. You might like to try that if you get a new iPad.

@JudyEv Having sight and then going blind is a very difficult adjustment. One of my sister in laws is 72 now and lost her vision when she was 21. She is pretty amazing. I know her journey of acceptance was a long and hard one.

@Tampa_girl7 It was a congenital condition. The iris didn't meet up all the way around. And later he had glaucoma as well.

OH no, Can you get a refurbished one perhaps? My mother loves her iPad and probably for the same reason.

That's too bad, but hopefully you can get a functioning iPad real soon. Do you have a smartphone that might be able to help you or tide you over until you can get one back up and running?

I hope you can get a new ipad soon. Phones are really hard to use. The print is so small.
