Unreviewed third-party products and services for vision impairment et alia

From time to time, various people write the Hephaestus Project, including vendors of products and services related to our mission. Sadly, we don't have the opportunity to sample these and form an opinion about them. As a courtesy to correspondents, in the hope that they are sincere and may have things useful to our readers, we list their missives here, edited as we see fit. Again, inclusion here does not necessarily indicate endorsement. Listing order is arbitrary.
