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 -
Welcome to the community @Rrabbit It's great to have you with us.
We do have a quite a few members who are visually impaired, including Janer1967, so I'm sure they'd be willing to give you some advice and support. Is there anything in particular you're struggling with at the moment?
We look forward to hearing more from you, and seeing you around on the community. I've moved your post into our category for discussions relating to visual and hearing impairments, and you may want to check out our other categories here.
