catsabrina Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Hello, I just recently was prescribed reading glasses and I am very worried now that I will not be able to wear them in the testing area as I am scared that since the deadline for accommodations is pasted that it is too late for me. Can anyone help me out here and tell me if I will be ok to wear my glasses or what should I do?? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catsabrina Posted August 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Ok, I had just read on the aamc website, accommodations for visual impairments and they do not specify how bad of an impairment to request for an accommodation. This is why I did not know what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bored Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 place some small cameras on the reading glasses, and relay the info back to a mate who is giving you info via tiny ear phones, which is disguised as hearing aids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
