? I think my comment offered a bit more than that.
I suffer from Keratoconus and have had to deal with the diagnosis that "you may be blind before 30". What I offered are two of my personal ways of dealing with that very same reality. Touch typing has meant that I can write confidently even if I can't see what I'm writing. And using devices + text-to-speech in a way that expands on existing reading habits seems like a reasonable way for their mother to adapt to the use of speech as a replacement for reading.
> Losing your sight is a profound loss, involving grief and other emotions,
The OP was specifically looking for "any tricks or solutions for non-technical people like her that could make her life easier" not psychological assessments and suggestions.
