Navigating/Getting around on this page
I’ve set up this page so that when you click on a link (words that are underlined & in blue or green), a NEW tab will open in your browser and this page STAYS WHERE IT IS. When you are done with the new page you opened, just close it. You do NOT need to use the back option. If you click on a link and the new page replaces this one, I’VE MADE A MISTAKE so please let me know by sending me an email at light2sight5153@gmail.com. Let me know exactly which link or links do not open a new tab or window.

You can search our website
You can actually do research ON OUR WEBSITE! You can find things such as in which of Sue’s journal pages does she talk about depression, where can I get more information about sunglasses or vitamins, etc. If you are using a computer, for example, a laptop, you may have seen the search box plus words under Categories and words under Tags/Keywords on the right side of each page. If you use a tablet or smartphone & the screen isn’t wide enough, unfortunately, you have to go all the way down to the end of each page to see these sections.
Do you want to know in which pages Sue talks about depression? You can type the word depression (you can also type multiple words) in the search box or select the word depression under Tags/Keywords and you’ll get all of her pages where she talks about it plus you will get any of the News/Highlights posts as well as any matches in the Resources/Links or News/Highlights pages, too. If you want to find everything on our site about sunglasses, you could type the word into the search box or look for the word under Tags/Keywords and select it.
If you want a broader range of pages & posts such as ‘Tips for living with low vision’, you’ll see that under Categories.
