Does the box say it's for the visually impaired? It's for my father who is not and I don't want to imply that he is..

It' A Great Calendar For Events. Don't Have The Box So I Can't Answer That Question.

Mine came today. I can tell you that the box mine came in (no box inside) had not a single, solitary word on it about what was in the box. In other words nothing on the box to say it is for the visually impaired nor does it say that in the instructions.For some reason that alludes me they made the numbers section in black and white and everything else has a gray background which makes impossible for a person with poor eye sight to program it. I wear fairly weak glasses. If I take them off I can't see what the words are on hardly anything that has the gray background. I could program it of course because I have seen it with my glasses on so I know which buttons to push. Mine came today.

It has been a few years since I purchased this for my mother so I don't recall what the box said, but this would be a valuable tool for those who see as well. It's a reminder for all the things that are going on in a busy life.

I would say no. My mother is and has a hard time seeing the numbers. She likes it though because when she puts the info in it is easier for her to know the important datea

I no longer have the box so don't know what it says. I bought one for my mom who *is* visually impaired but there is no way she could see what is on there to do the setting of it herself. So I would have to say that it is not actually good for the visually impaired at all. I don't even think she can see the red light on hers. As a result, she doesn't use it.

I don't think so, but am not sure. If your father is not visually impaired, you could probably get him a more sophisticated system. The advantage to this one is I can put my mother's schedule in when I visit and then all she does is press a button to find out what she has for that day.

My mother in law never uses hers - she may be willing to sell or even give it to you. She originally asked for it for Xmas, but it's not helping her macular degeneration and reading the newspaper.

Apparently not. None of the literature I have or the info on the box mentions that. Our doctors are impressed with it and I take it with us on appointments and it matches their readings. We love it.

text is at a 12pt.. it is difficult for me to say can an elderly person read it. With the proper glasses, yes..

Nope your good, I was worried about the same thing with my parents. Its gonna come in a small brown box to you. Just make sure he/she doesn't open it.

IM sorry it's a gift for my sister. I did not open the box before I send it out.

I didn't notice if it said it was, or not! Sorry about that, and I don't have the box anymore!

No. The numbers for the time are 1 3/4". But they light up so brightly that my dad can see them perfectly. It's great for the vision impaired.

This box is built for open display. They do make some for in the box display though hard to find.

Yes we got for my mother who is blind. Once she knew where it was and got used to the step up she really loves it.

I'm sorry, we purchased this for an elderly family member and don't have access to it to confirm.

Some of numbers are very small. I wouldn't recommend for anyone with vision issues. I gave this as a gift and was told that it was very difficult for an 8 year old to complete.

I only know one person with macular degeneration, and he must look very closely at the object to make it out. With the backlight on, this thermometer is bright and has good contrast so it is my belief that your father would be able to use it successfully. In the event that his condition is advanced to the point that he cannot, Amazon has a most excellent return policy for merchandise that fails to meet your expectations. I really don't think you will need to go that route but it is available. I trust that this helps and that you and your dad (and your cokking) will benefit.

Hi Grace, I'm sorry, I don't know. It went to my nephews, who will not open the box until Christmas.

Yes. You just need to change your display to show it. Place your finger on any box and hold it down. A menu will come up and select what you want.

I believe it is. It is very clear and my mother is losing her sight. She said its the best thing ever. Very nice - would recommend to anyone. Also very dependable.

I gave mine as a wedding gift so I am not even sure if they have had a chance to open the box as yet. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
