D) When it comes to low vision, a 1st intervention would always to be to increase lighting (which will not increase glare – we always want to reduce glare). We always want high contrast (increased contrast). A dark colored bath math is used on a white tiled floor, colorful tape on steps edge to make it stand out, etc).
