    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
