Strained, tired eyes…we may not think about preventing until we are already feeling the burn. 🔥

Now more than ever, we are glancing at screens to access information. We have complied a list of ways to combat eye strain while you are at work, at home, or using a smart phone to navigate the world.

Here is an idea we are partial to: Take a screen break and turn on VOICEcorps Reading Service. You will hear the news, weather updates, articles from your favorite magazines, and even original local programming all read by volunteers who believe in our mission of bringing information access to those who cannot read printed materials. 🫶

VOICEcorps recognizes November as Diabetic Disease Awareness Month. 👁️‍🗨️

According to the Ohio Department of Health, “in 2024, more than 1.2 million (13.0%) Ohio adults were living with diabetes. In addition, approximately 1.2 million Ohio adults (13.0%) had been diagnosed with diabetes.”

Diabetic Retinopathy is a complication that may develop where the small blood cells around the retina are damaged, and according to the National Eye Institute, “can lead to vision loss or blindness if left untreated.”

We at VOICEcorps want to remind everyone to go for regular vision screenings with your healthcare provider, and if you are experiencing diabetic visual changes or other similar complications, you can access information you rely on to get through your day by tuning in any time of day, any day of the week. 🙌

Say hello to VOICEcorps volunteer Jason Jones! 💙

Jason first learned about VOICEcorps back in 1985 when we were known as CORRS (Central Ohio Radio Reading Service) when he saw an ad on WTTE-TV channel 28! 📺

As a child he would often pretend to be a radio announcer and was encouraged by his older brother to volunteer, and he took him up on the suggestion. Boy, are we glad he did! ☺️

Outside of volunteering with us, Jason enjoys scrapbooking, model railroading and numismatics (the study of currency). He enjoys reading books on business and anything written by Michael Baisden.

Our volunteers come from all walks of life and have varied interests, but all of them have a passion for bringing information to our audience of blind, low vision, and print-disabled individuals so that they may keep up with current events, hear a voter's guide or the grocery ads, and be entertained with our original programming.

If you would like to join them, please click after the star icon in the comments down below! ⬇⬇⬇

Today we celebrate White Cane Day! 👩‍🦯‍➡️

White Cane Day (sometimes called White Cane Safety Day) has been observed nationally since October 15th 1964. We take this day to reflect on and acknowledge the achievements of those who are blind or those who have low vision and the freedom and independence that white canes can offer those individuals.

Our broadcast reading service also helps to bring independence to our listeners with voices from our wonderful volunteers you can depend on to read the news,weather, your favorite magazines and MORE! 👏
