If you're not ready for a guide cane or long cane, you can carry a symbol cane to let people around you know that you have sight loss. A symbol cane is not used for navigation or support, but to increase your confidence by highlighting to other people that you are blind or partially sighted.

We offer a telescopic symbol cane and a folding symbol cane. Both are lightweight and easy to slip into a bag when not in use. A red and white banded version of the folding cane, which highlights both hearing and sight loss, is also available.
