Welcome to the low vision group within mayo-connect.
We are growing as we and our families get older and find more vision problems due to macular degeneration, severe glaucoma, and other eye ailments. It is true that most people don't recognize others with low vision unless they are using a white cane. I'd rather hold my wife Charlotte's hand whenever we are walking to keep me from tripping on steps I don't see etc.
