Google Docs is making it easier for the visually impaired to keep track of real-time updates made by collaborators in a given document with a new feature.
A 'Live edits' feature allows users to view a periodically updated summary of changes in a convenient sidebar, according to the official blog.

BENGALURU: Refractive errors are the most common treatable cause of visual impairment. These are optical imperfections that prevent the eye from properly focusing light, thus causing blurred vision. The primary refractive errors are near-sightedness (myopia), far-sightedness (hyperopia), astigmatism and presbyopia. These can be corrected with glasses or contact lenses, or can be permanently treated with laser surgery.

Eyeglasses

Scientists are developing a technology for the visually-impaired people that bypasses the eyeball entirely and sends messages to the brain, paving the way for a new visual aid for daily living.

AUBURN — Even though Alice Jordan can only see less than 10% of her field of vision, that doesn't stop her from painting and collecting work from other artists. The walls of her Auburn home are adorned with them.

And her vision loss didn't stop Jordan, 70, from becoming the first blind person to bike in the annual Great Race. On Aug. 11, she and her cycling partner, Jim Kleiber, rode a reclining tandem bicycle for 10 miles on country roads in the town of Owasco to complete the cycling portion of the relay race.

For the first time, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has drafted an advisory for states emphasising the need to make public transport disabled-friendly. Which is welcome but the advisory says this should apply to 25% of vehicles when the RPWD Act says 100%.
