Your friend is clever 😂 I am partially sighted since brith. I am in my 40's now and always refused to use a cane as I was embarrassed. But now I am going to take the plunge and order a cane today. I am sick of people getting mad at me or thinking I am stupid as they dont know I have vision problem.

There is another very important reason why you should get a white cane as soon as you feel that it can help you your vision is a spectrum today. You may have some vision, but you never know how far that vision is going to deteriorate learn to use your white cane while you have some vision and then when your vision deteriorates to where you have no usable vision, then you’ll be thankful you took the time to practice with that way. It will continue to give you your mobility. Additionally, you should always see a qualified orientation and mobility trainer to help you learn to use the tools there’s so much you can learn a good teacher don’t be afraid to ask they love to help

As a person who is legally blind, another thing you can do if you can’t find stuff in a store as you can ask someone to walk with you and help you get your shopping

I have glaucoma and have resisted getting a cane because I too can still see a lot, but crossing a street can be scary and I often look at people a bit longer than I would have to see if I can see their expression and it's a bit akward. Having a cane is probably a good idea. Thank you for sharing your experience!

😊Thank you very much ! Will try!

I have been legally blind for 17 years. I also have extream photophobia and am color blind. I used a cane in the beginning, I was robbed once in a mall bathroom stall. I reported it and the security didn't do anything because I fought them off with my cane. I stopped using my cane after that. I don't go anywhere alone now. I get accused of not being blind because I still have some vision. Knowone should be afraid to use a cane for their visual impairment. It's an extension of their eyes.

You are best to be assessed for a cane for length and orientation and mobility to keep yourself safe

I’m relating to everything you’re saying. Thank you this helps me so much

I've been experiencing knee and elbow pain so i was serching the net for pain relief rub when i saw this thing PENETREX, so i decided to do a research and i love the reviews so I'm definitely gonna go for it.

I'm legally blind with 20/200 and 20/400 but functional enough to ride a bike during the day. I have the "all terrain cane" which is rugged for trails, and the "see me cane" which lights up when im walking at night. I wonder if I should use a cane while riding an E-Bike. I'm also thinking about trying an EUC, but I'm afraid I might look ridiculous using a cane. I like the idea of letting others know that I'm visually disabled by using the cane though.

They can see you but not what you see.

thank you so much for making this. everywhere else it's just ads or a dr talking. i have chronic pain, and this video was just perfect. i'll give it a try.

I've been legally blind since I was 14 and am now 57 but I just recently started carrying a white cane. I use it when I travel by myself or am in large crowded areas like theme parks. I also have central vision loss, Stargardts Disease..

Its good. Just started using it. Found it to be effective

What's the reason having to wash the cream off after 15 minutes.

I love this information. Thank You for Penetrex.

I'm going to try it because I have Osteoarthritis in my knees.

Actually, to be specific, it depends which state you are in, but there is in fact laws forbidding sighted people from using a white cane. Basically all the statutes say a sighted person can't use a white cane to procure services for the blind. I also believe depending on where you are if you are using a white cane and are hit by a car and you try to use it to benefit you and you are not visually impaired it is a criminal act. If you look up white cane laws it will tell you all about it.

Very nice video. If you look into the meaning of the red stripes you will find your stick denotes vision AND hearing loss. One red stripe is bison. I too carry a white cane, but I use it everywhere I go. I have trouble with stairs and curbs. As well I have trouble with contrast, so the sidewalk and road are all the same and that causes a lot of tripping. But not with the cane.

Thank you, I needed this today

being told by people that i'm "not blind enough" has to be one of the most hurtful things i hear. it's like being told im not good enough for a tube of aluminum.

I will try it for the joint and muscle pain though, I have nerve damage due to disc degenerative disease. It probably won't do much for the nerve issue but I am looking into different herbs for the nerves. Thank you and God Bless You too!

i have bad photophobia and i have functional blindness in one eye and problems with depth perception do you think i should use a white cane? my photophobia is quite disabling. also im getting a powerchair soom due to other disabilities so is it worth it or is there something else i can use from a powerchair

Hi, I’m blind in one eye and the vision in my other eye started changing in July/aug 2020 so I might have different vision every day. I use a cane too

Thank You Beverley Hopefully I can feel more comfortable at some point Every year my vision gets worse and worse

OHTO Fude Ballpoint Pen Extra Bold, 1.5mm but read the reviews. Hope it helps

I have night blindness and I'm worried that its not appropriate for me to use a cane at night 😞

This is a product that and it works wonders. It beats some of the other creams that i have tried and just didn't work as well I have referred this to my of my friends So pleased with it. Would like to get some coupons for it.

I have Right Homonymous Hemianopsia and just got my first white cane. I was tired of tripping on things on my right side.

I have Right Homonymous Hemianopsia

Thank you. My eyes are going quickly I am photophobic, Bright light is painful. I have no peripheral vision , and am extremely near sighted. I cannot see at night due to lights blind me then I cannot see anything else due to the lights. Plus I get like a kaleidoscope effect from shiny objects and water it is beautiful but kinda painful as well. I have a final Dr. appt. Then I guess I am just going to have to face it. And get a white cane or two. I appreciate these videos. I have been extremely self sufficient all my life and It helps to know that with some tools, and a bit of adaptation I can still remain so .For the most part.

Just bought some for my wife !!

Thank you for this ... I needed to hear it 💜

Thank U, if I see it. I will try it on my back.

Thanks Beverly. Unfortunately it looks like this app is no longer available on the google play store. I guess these things happen. Are you still able to use it?

thank you!

Never let disability to you ...don't fight it ,work with it my advice to anyone is make friends with your blindness orwhatever disability youmight have its part of you acceptance is everything I guess

I had no idea that I was blind but I am ...and it takes some getting used to but hey that's a challenge something I'm going to have to get used to ... I thought it was a wind up but I am blind white canes guide dogs and wheelchairs will soon be a part of everyday living I guess I'm sure I will learn to adjust though I've gone through a lot in past years so blindness is just an added challenge

Amen!

Thank you Beverly.I am a chronic pain suffer and I am blind and use a white long cane I have been searching for something that is all natural

Thanks for helping! I am suscribing.

Hi Beverly I really love your videos, I am a subscriber. I believe I have some information that may help you. please email me at rblife@protonmail.com or call or text me at 724 747-1861 thank you Roger Boothby

Hey Beverly, Dear, First thing first . I was told yes it is prescribed, go to your services for the blind organization in your area. They will give you skills of two techniques by a oreintation and mobility instructor.to tap it in front going from right to left or a method of swinging it right to left with the ball tip to the ground but not too wide. keeping the coordination of swing it to the left as taking a right step. etc. Tips are important . Marshmallow is for use when a driver is in the house. Walking a lot I prefer a ball tip, Elementary looking but they work well with bad infrastructure. Federal law protects you so you don't get into legal trouble if hit with out it you would be liable. google state white cane laws for your state. The object of the cane is to enable you prevention of a fall . Protecting you from hard to see curbs cracks in sidewalks and other objects that you may not see. If you go out with friends at night to a dinner or a movie.It will come in handy. Inside a theater. I know it is prideful to see a object such as a cane and think of Stigma and helplessness. I have a husband who doesn't use one. He is totally blind.We both have Retinopathy of Prematurity.I was born blind in my right. Crossing streets your O and M instructor will tell you of being able to use what functioning side vision will help you see hopefully the activity of the behavior of the traffic. I do not always be able to see the walk signal.so Think of when you saw and how the behavior of the traffic was. the way the traffic is when say heading west the traffic if you are on the north side of the street it will be on your left side and If you are on the south side the right.coming toward the direction you are coming from. The instructor will give you confidence in the use and the more you use the better. Please speak to one and at least get together with one.In my state we have Vocational rehabilitation and also the services for the blind. If you use a Pc then the agency would be possibly easy to find or if you use a Jitterbug ask the operator to help you find the number.Well Please have a safe Happy Thanksgiving.Brave lady, Be safe.
