Instrucciones
El tercer paso de la provisión de un producto de apoyo es enseñar a la persona a usarlo y a cuidarlo.
Remember to use the three step process described in the TAP Introduction to assistive products module:
- Explicación
- Demostración
- Practica
Using near vision spectacles
Explain that near vision spectacles can be worn whenever the person needs to see something up close.
As well as wearing near vision spectacles, encourage people to ensure they have enough light when looking at objects up close.
Sugiérales que:
- eviten leer —o realizar otras tareas que requieran visión de cerca— en espacios poco iluminados;
- aprovechen la luz natural (por ejemplo, sentándose al aire libre o junto a una ventana cuando realicen tareas de cerca);
- Direct a lamp at near tasks.
Él es Malik
La empresa de Malik instaló luces adicionales sobre los puestos de las máquinas de coser para que el personal pudiese ver mejor.
Some people may worry that wearing near vision spectacles will make their eyes lazy. Reassure people that wearing near vision spectacles will not cause them any harm.
Si una persona presenta alguno de los problemas siguientes, debe regresar para una consulta de seguimiento o acudir a un profesional de la salud ocular:
- Dolores de cabeza
- Le vuelve a costar ver bien los objetos cercanos.
- Siente que tiene que hacer un esfuerzo considerable para ver.
- They need to hold objects or reading material too close or too far away to see them clearly.
Looking after near vision spectacles
Talk to the person about looking after their near vision spectacles.
Explíquele que si los cuida, obtendrá mejores resultados al usarlos y le durarán más.
Enséñele lo siguiente:
- How to handle their spectacles
- How to clean their spectacles
- To check the screws regularly.
How to handle near vision spectacles
Handle near vision spectacles by the frame. Avoid touching the lens.
Take near vision spectacles off and on with two hands. This helps to maintain the frame.
Place near vision spectacles down so that they rest on the frame – never on the lenses.
Store near vision spectacles folded and in a case.
How to clean near vision spectacles
- Rinse spectacles under slightly warm tap water to remove dust and dirt.
- Con las manos limpias, frote suavemente las dos lentes por ambos lados y la montura.
- Aclárelos bien y séquelos con un paño limpio que no suelte pelusa (por ejemplo, uno de algodón suave).
Consejos
Evite frotar en seco las lentes para limpiarlas, porque podría arrastrar cualquier sucio por toda la lente y rayarla. Si usa lentes rayados, verá peor.
Revisión de los tornillos
Encourage people to regularly check the tiny screws on their near vision spectacles.
Suele haber tornillos en las bisagras y en las almohadillas nasales.
If the screws are loose they should be gently tightened with the correct size screwdriver.
Actividad
- Identify any screws on the near vision spectacles you have available to provide.
- Check whether you have screwdrivers available that fit the screws you have identified.
- Pruebe a apretarlos con cuidado.
