Help & Advice Stay Mobile
Getting about and staying safe
Although getting about in the home and outdoors is more difficult if your sight is impaired, depending upon the degree of useful vision you have, most people will find that they need to make very few, if any, adjustments in the home. Learning new techniques will enable them to be mobile and safe.
No two people's circumstances are the same and each individual will have their own specific mobility requirements. The changes you make and the new skills you'll need to learn, particularly if you want to travel outside the home, will depend upon a number of factors including:
- the degree of useful vision you have
- the type of sight impairment
- whether you are aware of your sight deteriorating
Each KAB Rehab team has specially trained staff who can give the training and recommendations you may need to enable you to be mobile and safe both in your home and when out and about.
