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