Communities like this (rblind.com) and r/blind are focused on serving the blind and visually impaired community, including friends and family. They’re also valuable as an opportunity for people outside the community to learn about the blind experience.

That brings us to the question: sighted friends, what have you learned that you’d like to share?

    I never really thought about all the different types of blindness until I saw a video about a man getting kicked out of a restaurant due to his service dog. It was really surprising to me to hear about people with partial blindness that could benefit from tricks like using their phone camera and holding it close to their eyes to see better.
