One thing that Vision Australia Vision Store does not sell which I highly recommend, are either the Tile Tag for Android or iOS users or the Apple AirTags from Apple for iPhone.

And a second thing smile, is the Accessible Power bank charger from AT Guys to keep your smart phone, Stellatrek charged etc.

Oh, and one more thing, a monitor arm is amazing to bring your monitor closer to you.
