Hi and welcome to the community 

I am also visually impaired not quite blind 

Have you been registered blind ? 

I was referred to my local sensory team through adult social services and they have been great giving me lots tips,  gadgets  , and getting me out on my own I am also in a wheelchair which adds to problem 

But would recommend you get referred
