This day has been set aside to honor all of the achievements of people who are blind or visually impaired, as well as the white cane, the country's most popular symbol of blindness and freedom.
Although technological advancements continue to enhance the lives of the blind and visually impaired, the white cane remains a basic staple for living a healthy and productive life. The white cane extends a person's senses by allowing them to determine steps, unlevel pavement, and obstacles. However, it also gives the public a sense of security as a warning. It's either to block someone with a white cane or to direct them in a different direction. A skilled user guides the cane to find the correct way.
