- In White Cane Journeys, hosted by Laura Bain, meet four Canadians with blindness at various stages learning to use a white cane. We explore the impact of that transition on their navigation and life.
I'm a visually impaired person myself & got my white cane a few weeks ago.
Honestly, I have to say I'm still kind of scared using it in public cause I feel like I'm screaming out to strangers "Hey, look - I'm disabled!"
But watching this video (especially the last few minutes when these people give advice to other white cane users ; I cryed, cause I realised that it's ok to use the cane, that it'll give me the feeling that I'm save (at least saver as I'd be withouth my cane)
So, all I can say to everyone involved.
Thank you ! Thank you for making this video !
I'm gonna give you a Five Star 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 So awesome experience and learning. Good for all ages and good blind people. Bless all theirs hearts. AWESOME!!!!
Fantastic video, came at such a perfect time in my sight loss journey. Thanks so much!
I can’t thank you enough for this well made video. I suddenly became legally blind at age40 due to diabetes. It changed my entire life. That was two years ago and I still struggle with acceptance of it. Profound vision loss can make you feel so alone even when you know you’re not. Thank you again!
Compelling documentary about people with vision loss. High quality production, with superb editing that keeps the narrative flowing. I learned a lot about how people live with vision issues. Highly recommended!
As a sighted person this video was so informative about the world of those with vision loss. The positive attitude of those with vision loss is truly inspiring and my admiration is huge.
Thank you so much for the video. I am still at the point where I don’t tell people, outside my closest friends and family, that I am visually impaired. I have a white cane but it stays behind the bedroom door. This video helped me feel ok with where I am and thinking about the future.
I have both Amblyopia and Strabismus in my left eye and I'm going to see my new Ophthalmologist at the end of this month so I'll bring up the use of a white cane during my appointment, I have been running into the lower kitchen cabinets and other tables around the house including some other areas of my house. I can't drive because of this so I have to depend upon others to drive me different places.
This was a great video!
I have low vision due to Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP)
I have enough vision to not use a cane myself but im sure it is a great mobility aid and a way to be independent for all who need it!
I'm a person who uses the white cane and I've come to be proud of it I also have the cane with me in my profile picture 😁
Fantastic video, really well done!!!!
I’m just starting & it’s so scary
I still dont understand the id cane. When does the person need to use a regular one? I dont need a cane yet and thougjt the id cane was a short one and some how let people know Im blind. But this man used it for walking but not tapping it. Im just confused. I did really enjoy this show.
I’ve been a cane user since I was 6 or 7 years old
Sure liked your video. I’m in that stage on weather to ask for help or not. Don’t know if I’m qualified to get services. I lost total vision in my right eye from flesh eating bacteria. It ate my optic nerve. My left eye is fairly good. Extreme near sighted 20/600+ But corrected to 20/70+ with glasses. I’m having difficulty with close up , night time, and bright lights. Just don’t know who or what to ask for
