Andy, a low vision officer with the RNIB in Wales, has been visually impaired for most of his life. He explains the difficulties he has experienced with new surroundings and how all visually impaired people see things differently.

Seeing things differently

What does the world look like to a person with a visual impairment? How does restricted vision impact on everyday life? How can you offer assistance without taking control? The video tracks on this album simulate what the world looks like to people with a range of visual impairments, and show good practice when acting as a sighted guide. The audio tracks offer personal perspectives from two people living with severe visual impairment.  This material forms part of The Open University's Pre-registration nursing programme.
