Empowering Vision, Enabling Possibilities
At Florida Vision Technology, we believe assistive technology is more than just equipment—it’s a gateway to independence, confidence, and opportunity. Every day, we witness firsthand how the right tools can transform the lives of individuals with visual impairments across the state of Florida.
Here are just a few stories that remind us why we do what we do.
Meet Maria: Returning to the Classroom with Confidence
After losing her vision due to diabetic retinopathy, Maria thought she’d have to give up her dream of becoming a teacher. That changed when she was introduced to JAWS screen reader software and the BrailleNote Touch Plus.
“Florida Vision Technology didn’t just sell me a product—they helped me find my way back to a career I love,” Maria shared. “Now, I can plan lessons, communicate with students, and access digital textbooks without barriers.”
David’s Newfound Freedom with Vision Buddy
David, a retired veteran, struggled with macular degeneration and could no longer enjoy his favorite pastime—watching baseball. But everything changed when he tried the Vision Buddy headset.
“I watched my first game in full screen, clearly, for the first time in years,” he said. “It felt like getting a piece of my life back.”
David now uses Vision Buddy for everything from TV to reading his mail, and he’s even exploring online learning programs for veterans.
Sofia’s Academic Leap with OrCam Read 3
As a high school student with dyslexia and low vision, Sofia often felt left behind in the classroom. With the OrCam Read 3, she can now scan textbooks, handouts, and even her phone screen—listening to content read aloud instantly.
“It helps me stay on pace with my classmates,” she says. “I feel more confident raising my hand, taking notes, and studying for tests.”
