What are your experiences with the use of a white cane and /or guide dog?

One of our community members expressed interest in learning more about the use of a white cane or guide dogs. Please share your experiences.

  1. I’m interested in this as well! Hopefully someone will reply.

    1. I wanted to share a resource that has a whole series of videos on using a white cane. I hope the information is helpful for you. https://hadleyhelps.org/workshops/using-the-white-cane-series. Warm regards, Sharon Moore patient leader

  2. Thank you Sharon, I don’t need it at this time, but I felt that it’s good to gather up info now, while I still have good vision.

    1. I have been reading your articles and they have been really helpful! I was just diagnosed last month with Intermediate Macular Degeneration. So you and Brown Eyed Girl have been reassuring for me to read your experiences.

    2. I am so glad @Brown Eyed Girl and I have reassured you through our articles. If you questions feel free to post in the forums section. We are here for you! Warm regards, Sharon Moore patient leader

  3. I was feeling like I was worrying too much, but I felt like it was better to be prepared now while I still can. My Mother and Aunts all had Macular Degeneration, with my Mom’s progressing to the Wet form. Is Hadley a website?

    1. @Brown Eyed Girl Thanks for the support!

    2. @Brown Eyed Girl Thank you for the articles you have written and the advice and reassurance. Very much appreciated!

  4. Ok, just realized Hadley is the website you sent the info from! : l
