Another cheap but very useful product is called bumps. They come in different colors and you put them on the oven, microwave, dishwasher, washer, etc. My mother now feels confident using all her appliances with the bumps to guide her.

These tricks and lots more are taught in the independent living classes. I'm not where I can look right now, but I believe there are clubs specifically for visually impaired folks in TV.
