People who have severe physical disabilities may not be able to sit up in bed. Assistive technology helps people live more independently. Bed Specs are an assistive device that uses prisms to adjust the angle people can see while laying down in bed. These glasses can be used by people with spinal cord injury or severe physical disabilities. These glasses have right angle prisms that will change the perspective of where they can see by 90 degrees downward. This piece of assistive technology enables a person to write, watch TV or do other similar activities while lying down without lifting or moving their head. These glasses have a molded nose piece.
The black frames are 6 x 1.25 inches. They are $29.00
You can purchase this assistive device from AbleData.
