Welcome to NCBI’s How I See Campaign 2023! We hope this campaign will provide some insight into what everyday life is like for people who are blind or vision impaired.

This Campaign stems from service users and advocates highlighting to us the common misconceptions among the wider public on what they believe it is like to be blind or vision impaired. The How I See Campaign aims to inform and educate the public about the realities of living with sight loss and to answer many questions people may have but are too afraid to ask.

In part three of NCBI’s How I See Campaign 2023, four of NCBI’s service users spoke about using public transport and they explained the different accommodations they might need or techniques that they use to successfully use public transport systems.

In part four, we delve into some of the inner workings of home life for people who are blind or vision impaired. Our participants discuss the different ways they approach situations like preparing a meal for themselves or how they read a book or watch television.

The enlightening answers from our four service users highlight how important it is to understand that there isn’t one specific solution to how a person who is blind or vision impaired can approach life, so be mindful that someone may or may not require assistance depending on their circumstance.

Enjoy the video and don’t forget to like and comment on social media about how you approach your life and home and subscribe to the NCBI YouTube channel for more great content.
