Visual Services Difficulty seeing? Do these statements describe you?
I have poor vision which cannot be corrected by glasses
I don't really want help- I just want to stay independent but because of my sight loss I can't see to read important letters or to manage money
I don't cook anymore- I lost the confidence
I used to like to do my own shopping but I don't go out anymore -as I'm frightened of failing
I do not feel safe travelling alone by bus and so I do not meet my friend in town anymore
I don't like to keep asking other people for help

using symbol or guide canes safely and effectively
