“Blickpunkt Auge,” for example, addresses the following questions: What assistive devices make daily life easier for people with vision loss? What legal rights do I have if I am blind? Those interested can test various assistive devices directly in the demonstration area. “Blickpunkt Auge” is a program offered by the self-help organization Blinden- und Sehbehindertenbund e.V. in Hesse.
