CASE STUDY: iPad Grants the Gift of Sight to Legally Blind Woman

Evelyn O’Brien has faced age-related macular degeneration (AMD) for decades. Her AMD progressed to legal blindness over 30 years ago, and for the first time since she lost her vision, she is able to see her grandchildren’s faces…all thanks to Apple’s iPad.

Because of her AMD and resulting legal blindness, when Evelyn looks at people she can't see their faces. She recently discovered that by using her daughter’s iPad she could zoom in and see details she hasn't seen in over 30 years. Evelyn now uses the iPad to read, watch videos, and surf the web.

Evelyn recently brought the iPad into her eye doctor, showed it to him and exclaimed, “Here’s the World!”
