Hope for visually impaired photographers: I love photography. But I have a small problem. I am legally blind in one eye, and suffer from Fuch’s dystrophy, which means my eyesight will keep deteriorating, and probably faster now that I am old. The only cure for Fuch’s is a corneal transplant, which comes with a bunch of problems of its own. The symptoms, for me, have been difficulties focusing on the subjects of my shots. Since the LCDs on cameras are small, and the viewer is essentially useless to me, my solution has been eyeglasses and a BIG smartphone (Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, because I have used Samsung for years). And a lot of tossed images! And some unhappiness with how my good shots turn out.
Of course, I am not the only person in the world suffering from impaired or increasingly impaired eyesight! And not the only photographer watching their love of the art of light receding into the twilight. There must be something available for folks like us! I did a lot of research online before I decided on the smartphone. However, I bought it before this came out:
