Types of Cane for People with Vision Impairment 

Thank you for your video I'm just starting out using a cane I'm low vision and left eye and legally blind in the right, with visual field loss in the upper left and right quadrants, in both eyes

Thank you. I had thought the different white canes were just a matter of style. Now I know each type has a purpose.

I use the guide cane and its very helpful.

I actually use a long cane, or in the US known as the mobility cane. I actually use it more like a hiking stick than a traditional mobility cane. I have some useable vision, and I have back issues and use it a little bit for support, and since it is graphite it is somewhat strong. Same when I had an aluminum one someone stepped on and broke. Both seem to work fine.
