High-functioning Apple workflows with peripheral vision loss

AppleVis [Unofficial] May 17, 2026

Hello everyone, I am a Swiss physician and academic with progressive peripheral visual field loss, while my central vision is still functionally useful. I am looking for practical exchange with high-functioning low-vision Apple users, especially people with peripheral vision loss, tunnel vision, glaucoma, retinitis pigmentosa, or similar visual field conditions. I am less interested in diagnosis-specific emotional support and more interested in robust professional workflows: - Mac, iPad and iPhone setup - screen magnification / Zoom - VoiceOver as backup or primary tool - OCR and document reading - email and writing workflows - presentations and teaching - window management and screen layout - mobility and orientation strategies - transition from mainly visual to hybrid visual-auditory work My goal is to build a robust Apple-based coping and assistive-technology system early, before I urgently depend on it. I would be very grateful for practical advice, examples of your setups, app recommendations, hardware tips, shortcuts, and lessons learned. Thank you.
