Houston Agency Makes Large Selection of Vision Aids Available for Online Purchase

May 25, 2011 - PRLog -- Nearly 200 adaptive aids for people with vision problems ranging from low vision to blindness have made The Lighthouse of Houston a destination for visually impaired individuals, their family and friends.  They know they will find the most helpful adaptive aids at Reflections, the Lighthouse store.

Now these products will be available nationwide through Amazon.com, making it easy for people to order from the comfort of their own home, wherever they live.

Browsing the store's catalog, individuals with low vision can find a wide variety of magnifiers, large print books, calendars, bibles, games, puzzle books, dictionaries, keyboards, TV remote controls, and sewing aids, such as self-threading needles.

For blind and visually impaired individuals, there are variety of talking products, including money identifiers, color tellers, clocks, calculators, blood pressure monitors and bath scales.  Braille readers can find Braille telephones, watches, Bingo and Scrabble games – and much more.

The Reflections catalog has been available for several years on the Lighthouse website, but until now there hasn't been a way for people to make a direct purchase online.  The best option for online purchases was offered by Amazon.com, which will also help the Lighthouse with online marketing support.

"Expanding the reach of our store and its wide selection of innovative adaptive aids has long been an objective of the Lighthouse," said Lighthouse President Gibson M. DuTerroil.  "We are very pleased that these products will now be available to all who need them."

Items can be viewed and purchased on the Lighthouse website, http://www.houstonlighthouse.org, or on http://www.Amazon.com, which lets shoppers search for a specific item before buying it.  All online purchases are processed through Amazon.  

For individuals who prefer examining items before purchasing, Reflections, the Lighthouse store is located at the Lighthouse main building, 3602 West Dallas in Houston.  

Established in 1939, The Lighthouse of Houston is a private, nonprofit education and service center dedicated to assisting blind and visually impaired people to live independently. The Lighthouse is a United Way of Greater Houston agency.
