precautions very carefully.

the quality of life for people who are visually impaired. The extent to which
Merlin Plus can improve the ability to see images depends on a person’s
individual condition and level of visual condition.

degenerative vision loss. An eyecare professional can determine the
usefulness and suitability of Merlin Plus for a patient’s individual impairment.
