    I have a friend who has macular degeneration and wants to know if there is computer equipment that he could get that would enable him to stay informed. Is there any such equipment made specifically with the needs of blind people in mind?

    Yes, there is technology for blind people to help them access information. There are scanners available. These scan written documentation that can then be downloaded to their computer. Once on their computer a voice program will 'read it out loud' to them. Hope this helps.
