UT Tyler students use special glasses to experience visual impairments such as glaucoma, cataracts, retinopathy, heminopsia, detached retina and macular degeneration. Donna Kachlic (far right), UT Tyler disability support services specialist, conducts the demonstration during Disability Awareness Day, which helps participants become more aware of various disabilities and their adaptive equipment.
