Using smart technology in our homes helps to make life easier for all of us, but with the long, dark winter nights upon us, it can play an even more important role in helping those who are sight impaired with their day-to-day activities at home. Social media executive Lisa is visually impaired. She has a condition called nystagmus, which means she can’t see well enough to drive, but she has enough useful sight that she doesn’t need to use a guide dog or a cane.

When it comes to her life at home, Lisa has a few tricks for adapting her space to suit her needs. EE’s Smart Hub Pro with Wifi 7 optimises her smart home connection, and with strong and reliable Wi-Fi she can be confident that she’s firmly in charge of her devices and networks – essential if you rely on them for everyday life.
