hi, It was happend with me many times when I had little vision in past. while walking with my friends at diffrent places, they often forgot to inform me, there are stairs or other things. As soon as I put my legs on staris, I was really so much confused and afraid. I got angry many times and told them, please tell me before stairs. Actually our friends have no mistake in it. Gredually We are habitual at our known places, so they understand, this is the cause of vision, so they understand we can hendle this situation. It's true, to using cane in such cases to avoid such situations and be independent, but it's also true, really it's not easy to hold white cane in our hands, specially late and partially blind and young person. but hey, it's not impossible also. I realise this after losing entire vision.
