Mobile 'phone for the partially sighted?

Does anybody have any experience or knowledge related to this please?

My Grandmother has recently gone blind in one eye, due to medical mis-diagnosis , same resulting in lack of correct treatment for the condition she actually had.

The eye she's gone blind in WAS her 'good' eye , the other one wasn't functioning well at all anyway so she can hardly see now. The eye that functions a little now, had a cataract some years back that , when removing, the Doctor made a mistake and cut something they shouldn't have, hence her poor sight in that eye.

She hasn't had much luck at all.

I want to get her a mobile 'phone with clear, large buttons and a large screen, preferably one that's simple to use and has emergency dial feature.

I don't ask for much I know. She can't see her old one now, but she can see to use her house phone (which was a large buttoned model anyway) if she holds it up to her lamp.

I've been recommended a 'Doro', a 'Big Friendly Phone' and a 'TT002 Elderly' up to now- the trouble is, they all have pretty bad reviews online-the Doro not so much as the other ones but I think that one looks a bit small compared to the others.

Thank you in advance, I appreciate any help at all.
