Nintendo DS Lite

Postby Christine Wallis » Sat 09 Feb 2008 10:28 am

No not an advert, but I bought one of these a few weeks ago, and they are brilliant for us KC lens wearers.

When I take my lenses out, I can't read or watch TV, but as these consoles are hand held, you can hold them really close, and 'play' without lenses.

My life has been revolutionised :lol:

Sadly not Andrew, but they should be - my non-KC friends/family think I'm mad the way I've been raving about it - I know it sounds daft, but it is SO liberating being able to do something WITHOUT my lenses ! It's also satisfying to watch how your skills on the Brain Training programme increase - they also do an eye training one which I may have to invest in !

HI THERE YOU ARE SO RIGHT THE DS IS GREAT FOR ANYONE IM REGISTERED PARTIALLY SIGHTED AND EVEN I CAN USE IT ITS KINDA LIKE ME WEE FRIEND THOUGH THE BRAIN TRAINING NEEDS SORTED I THINK LOL IM 26 AND I GOT MY BRAIN AGE TO 20 SO EITHER IM NOT AS DUMB AS I THINK OR ITS FAULTY LOL.

THE SIGHT TRAINING I WOULD NOT RECCOMEND TO KC SUFFERERS AS U HAVE TO US ALL OF YOUR EYE SIGHT AND IT DOES NOT IMPROVE YOUR SIGHT ONLY REFLEXES.

JUST THOUGHT ID SHARE WITH YOU ALSO THE SONY PSP IS GREAT AS IT HAS A BIG SCREEN AND STORES MUSIC MOVIES AND PICTURES.

THANKS FOR YOUR POSTS

JAMES
anyways all you KC people get out there and try things you are scared to do it will amaze you the impact it has on your self esteem and confidence.
