I agree with you totally, Amro. In this day and age they don't have to be made
to look unattractive. Do let us know how you get on with them next month.

Sorry but I disagree. The white cane is not attractive nor unattractive. You
don't wear it if you get what I mean. Those glasses are better compared to
tactile watches, which by the way, another thing that is hideously designed.
Just because it's adaptive device doesn't mean it has to be ugly. IMHO,
bringing the cost down is an argument that can be more valid. However, from how
cheep things can be manufactured nowadays in China and the far east even this
argument is rapidly wearing thin.
I asked my wife to have a look at them and she said, though not in so many
words, that they are not very elegant. But she said they look like special
glasses and not like an ordinary ones. Anyway, we're going away on a forest
weekend brake next month so I may get a pair and use it as my night vision when
exploring the forest then! *smile* You see, in this context they can be viewed
as a crash helmet but I am not sure I fancy have them on when I have my best
suit on!
Cheers,
Amro

In my view, they can't be so hideous as all that. Some people would say the
white cane or anything that signals you out as disabled is not socially
attractive, so I say, if you don't feel comfortable I use a cane when
outside, I don't want to hear it. I'd much rather wear a set of glasses
that keep my head safe than do myself damage which will take longer to heal.
Why not View the glasses like a crash helmet ?-----Original Message-----

Hi, I'm told by a sighted friend that they're not at all attractive, if that
matters to people. Why can't they make these things a little more socially
acceptable to look at.
