Hello All,
Prefer escort or assistance for outdoor and love to be independent while
moving indoor. External environment poses risk and condition of cities
is known to all and would reiterate mobility can be different for low
vision as compared to a completely blind person.
Cheers,
Pankaj

That's it.
I suspect many of those who vote against any fixed escort despite
availability/affordability/no privacy concerns, are partially blind,
meaning that they are able to do some vital things visually.....

Mobility with 'fixed escort' or without one with your cane/no cane is
like moving in a familiar world of your own & another unfamiliar to you.
White cane can only be a safety tool to prevent your near fall but not a
guide as u have to ask directions from others despite your cane.
Recently I had been to a training programme from my office in different
location. There everybody (as is vogue today) held his plate in one
hand, put things of 5-6 types by his other & then took to eating on
standing tables during lunch. I had to fumble my way to the queue
starting with the plate point, often getting somebody to fill up with
edibles & helping me to the standing table. Where I could answer &
raise questions with confidence during our faculty lectures, I felt my
confidence was badly shaken in lunch place only depending on others to
feed me with their help. Even the lunch place was hundreds of metres
away from training ground where reaching could be more than mere
fumbling for the place. In such scenario, as often it is with a blind
person alone, I always think a fixed escort if you could have it, would
be the best option. Your confidence level is very high, you feel at par
with your colleagues & have your own world to enjoy without any
dependence on new persons for your pleasure of choice. It could be
really very harassing asking for help everyone for your needs & feeling
bad when society fails to help you in time.
