Hi Angela, oh yes people can be so ignorant for sure that's awful what happened to you but it's typical of how ignorant some people can be. It's so sad and as you say they don't know what they will have to deal with one day and the same may happen to them. I suppose it's easier for me and my mum to ignore such people as we have always been in this situation with me being blind all my life but to have to adapt to it must be so hard. I always wear dark glasses when I'm out as they give me extra confidence and also protect my eyes against the wind so I don't just wear them when it's sunny. I don't use a cane when I'm being guided by someone. Love Clare
