Sorry folks...I tried to put a link to the product, but it didn't work. We bought it from Enablemart.com and it's called The Bright ID"er Caller ID.
My Mother is in good health, but her eyes are definitely not as strong as they once were. She has a harder time reading labels, computer screens, price tags, etc... She walks around with this huge magnifier all the time. Her biggest gripe has been her phone. She has caller ID to avoid all the telemarketers. When the phone rings she couldn't see who was calling on the tiny display. We found a product called <a href="http://www.enablemart.com/Catalog/Misc-Low-Vision-Items/Bright-IDer-Caller-ID/">The Bright ID'er</a>. It hooks up to her phone, and' has a large bright screen (about 8 inches across) that she can see across the room. Now she can quickly see if she wants to answer, I wonder if she is screening out my calls???? Seriously though, it's been a great tool for her. I would recommend it.
