Damon, yes, but we've got to take what we can get, haven't we?
Cheers

Wouldn't you prefer a Geordi Leforge visor, though?

Hi Jackie.

Well, whatever they say about it, for 80 quid you cant really go wrong so I
for one am prepared to give them a shot as I'm almost always banging in to
things LOLOL.

All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi Andy

I feel pretty much the same in terms of most of them.  Somehow, I can't see
me walking about with a pair of specs on when my own eyes are prosthetic,
but I would give them a try just to see what they are like in terms of
protection against higher objects etc.  I can just imagine the comments and
usual reactions one will get: "Oh will they help your sight a bit love?
That's great". (smile).


Kind Regards,

Jackie Cairns

I guess they're meant to help guard against you walking in to say a litter
bin hanging off a lamp post, or a low hanging awning, especially for tall
people. Personally, I never, either when using a guide dog, which I did for
many years, or now with a long cane, which I prefer, encounter such
problems. I wonder how these glasses respond when encountering other
pedestrians?

I'm always rather cynical when it comes to yet another so-called mobility
aid, cos so far, in my experience, they have all been expensive bits of
junk.

Andy
