The Libby Thaw Interview and The Checkered Eye Lapel Pin

For people with impaired vision and the people with whom they interact, awareness of a person's hidden needs can help alleviate confusion, frustration, and embarrassment. That’s why ‘The Checkered Eye Lapel Pin’ was created by Libby Thaw, a vision impaired wife, mother and entrepreneur.

The emblem itself is a simple eye, the center of which, the iris, is black and white checkers. The pin is a one inch, round lapel pin. It bears the Checkered Eye and the text "LOW VISION". The background is white, the outline, emblem and text are black.
