[quote=@Xaltwind] Yep, I suffer form Retinitis Pigmentosa, a degenerative, incurable eye-condition. It, effectively, makes you blind either REALLY fast, or slowly over time. I've got the latter type. I usually mostly use my cane for when I go to places I'm unfamiliar with, as I can still [i]see[/i]. So i can navigate my neighbourhood well enough. But if I go somewhere I'm not used to being, or go out during poor light conditions (or when it's TOO bright), I hafta use my cane to avoid walking into other people and stuff. [/quote] Oh jeeze. That sounds rough. Is there any way they can slow down the progress with medicines or other such things? Also I thought about how hard a cane might be to use on different surfaces, but didn't realize all that extra detail about the evenness or roughness of surfaces and other such things. Thank you for bringing that to my attention. That's definitely good to know moving forward with this character.
