Pair Programming with a visually impaired programmer

I'm visually impaired. I've never felt like this would be something that hindered me much in programming. But I've been thinking about pair programming lately. I've never done it, apart from a short session where I was helping someone implement a game in Java.

We used Floobits Which basically allows Google Docs-style collaboration across editors. It worked great, but since I use a screen magnifier, and not all of the screen is visible to me, there was often extra communication necessary to communicate where in the code changes were being made.

Do you have any experience in pairing as/with someone with a visual or other impairment? Are there things I can do to improve the experience?
