Anita,
Do you use a white cane? Not that you won't still run into things, but
if using a cane, or dog for that matter, and using properly, you are
less likely to run into things, at least with your body.
Sincerely,
Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter, editor, Slate & Style

Well I will have to say that I have had a dream or two where I
flew and I went blind around 2 years old from what was believed
to have been Encephalitis. This disease destroyed the optic
ner"e. I learned a few yeins ajo that the optic nerve is designf
to take images and transmit them to the cornea I think?
I may be off on this but I understand why it is that I can detect
objects in a room--the furniture, wh's on a wabbl, lights, but I
cannot figure out how big the objects are or tell what they are
with that same vision. Sometimes the objects appear to be closer
at times when they are farther away and vice versa. And it can
also be very distracting when attempting to travel independently.
Of coursethereare times when I miss objects and bump into them.
(Yikes! That happens with people as well." (smiles)
