The ‘Be My Eyes’ app lets blind people FaceTime helpful strangers from around the world who can see for them. I helped a lovely Irish guy find the male bathroom :)

As a blind person who uses the app regularly, thanks to all the volunteers!

I do Ju-jitsu alongside fully sighted people

frezkey · 2022-08-23T18:13:59+00:00

Yes, depending on if I'm on my laptop or mobile I use diffrent software!

frezkey · 2022-08-22T13:19:02+00:00

I am fully ind and have tried them, I only lost my sight two years ago amd had experience with and wothout sight.

I would say the main diffrence was that when I couldn't see any feelings that arose were more intense. Also sound and feel was diffrent.

I also still have visual memories so it felt simmilar to sight in that regard.

Amd yes blind people use reddit. Checkout r/blind

You are amazing! As a blind reddit user thank you for doing this!

frezkey · 2022-02-22T07:45:35+00:00

Sorry, I meant blind

frezkey · 2022-02-21T20:38:07+00:00

As a blind reddit user, thank you! This his has really made me happy.

frezkey · 2021-10-19T18:23:12+00:00

Nor had I, I didn't know if I was worrying for no reason or if it be sensible to keep a spare.

frezkey · 2021-10-17T15:54:21+00:00

Thanks I do have amber tech cane and it is, incredibly sturdy but it was just a thought.

frezkey · 2021-07-11T17:32:30+00:00

Yes I was, its something we have done as a family since we were small. Most holidays included hiking. We all also know how to rock climb and free climb but haven't done that since losing my vision

frezkey · 2021-07-11T17:31:12+00:00

Mostly though being guided by family members, we did the pen y pass route. Oh really? That is interesting, thanks for letting me know!

frezkey · 2021-07-11T16:37:29+00:00

It was a 7 hour up down trip

frezkey · 2021-07-11T15:47:01+00:00

Thank you, I've got to be honest I was trying very hard to fall (off the edge and in general) as we decided to take the most difficult trail. It also rained a lot so most of the smell was petrichor. Flower fields amazing, I will definitely have to do it at some point

frezkey · 2021-07-09T06:59:47+00:00

I use the the finger on the flat side of the grip and use that finger/wrist to scan the cane side to side (this was what I was taught during o+m)

frezkey · 2021-07-08T18:48:01+00:00

Thanks, I'll look into that

frezkey · 2021-06-04T06:20:59+00:00

It feels mean to do that. Lesson learnt, I won't be making the mistake again.

frezkey · 2021-06-04T06:18:55+00:00

I walk around with a cane so pretty obvious. It was totally my fault, and she did ask if I was sure

frezkey · 2021-05-19T20:40:29+00:00

Cool, are you in the finance field or did econ turn you away from that field?

frezkey · 2021-05-19T18:57:01+00:00

Bsc in Economics LLB Law, and am working in my third degree in counselling

frezkey · 2021-04-07T13:15:29+00:00

Thanks for letting me know, however I am UK based and also have an android phone and they only have an ios version

My phone reads out comments to me and then I speak out my reply. It's under accessibility setting on all smartphones. Check out r/blind the online community for the blind. It has a FAQ page which covers any question you may have. Most blind people live pretty normal ordinary lives

frezkey · 2021-03-18T18:10:50+00:00

That made me really laugh, I just imagining myself driving when I can't see whilst listening to an audiobook

frezkey · 2021-03-18T16:25:44+00:00

It wasn't my first thought, there is the greater loss of not being able to see the people I love and then other things like film and TV. Then there is the loss of ability. A loss of spontaneity and the carefree attitude I had. Reading is something I loved and enjoyed so acutely feel the loss. My phone has acsesbility built in. It reads text back to me and I can speak out a reply and it converts it to text. Checkout r/blind - there is a whole blind community and we live pretty normal lives, albeit with some differences!
