Proceeds from “The Press” Garden City Golf Classic will be used to buy a set of chair scales for the Department of Nephrology and a viewscan for the Low Vision Care Clinic at the Christchurch Hospital. In addition to the scales a Big Softee chair is provided. A viewscan is a portable electronic magnifying system which gives the partly sighted a powerful reading aid. By scanning a small hand-held camera across the page, the reader can see a bright magnified image of the text on a large viewscan display screen. A viewscan can help partly sighted children learn to read and gives older students access to the full range of printed material provided for the normally sighted.
