Seeing It Our Way

A sensitive program which gives viewers an insight into the daily lives of visually impaired people and shows how best to assist such people, especially the elderly. Simulated vision segments give viewers a true appreciation of what it is like to be visually impaired. The program covers hazards, clothes and storage, communication issues and myths, “sighted guide” techniques and more.
