The video that we watched was quite informative. At one point, they mention Retinitis Pigmentosa or RP. My husband's aunt has RP so I found it interesting to learn a little bit as to what causes it. The video mentions that rods die away and as a result the images we see never get to the brain. RP is an inherited disease so it is something that my family should be aware of and know more about. Due to her RP, my husband's aunt uses a modifies keyboard for her computer. She attached white stickers with black letters to help them to stand out. Also, the layout of her email is white text on a black background to help her read it. I will try to attach a picture of her keyboard to give you a visual.
