White Cane Types

Angela Delgado - I worked in the hospital for a long time and I always on the computer and I noticed that I started to see floaters in my eyes, and overall I just realized that my size view was going. So I'm off balance when I'm walking because I have no peripheral, but I can't legally drive anymore. So they declared me legally blind and visually impaired. They gave me the cane. I had the mobility training. I had the cane inside my rain boots in the closet. It's like, well, I still got a little bit of vision left, so I'm gonna use what I got. I don't want people to know my business. I said, because it's my secret. So the secret was killing me.

Narrator - White canes are built to give you feedback about the surface you're on by helping you feel vibrations and hear changes and sounds. But different canes have different features and they all have pros and cons depending on where you're going and what you're doing.
