Putting Up With Negative Visuals for Reading

I've had wet AMD for 16 years, but my vision has remained stable with eye injections and an equivalent that matches my DNA as a modification of PreServision.

My issue is that at church, for example, tons of money go to pay technicians for lighting and all sorts of things to project words to be read and sung or just read. The technicians mostly seem to need a course from one of the light specialists. So I make my voice note gently and with experience to my pastor and others: (e.g. contrast of letter and background, avoiding pastels that may wash out for us AMD folks, etc.)

I also have a background in publishing and have suggested avoiding of serifs in typefaces. Good "leading" helps also.

I've gotten good responses that I'm sure to help me and others in such contexts.
