My Library Professor for my master's, Dr. Loertscher (very famous in the library world) has dry macular degeneration. He has to wear a huge magnifying headpiece. And this was a few years ago. For a librarian that reads a lot, writes and using a computer, this must be a living hell.
Your Mom might still be able to crochet and knit even if she doesn't see very well. There are playing cards with braille if she's willing to learn. There are even movies for the blind that are narrated (sorta like subtitles for the deaf)
