Jamie Cuthbertson was blinded after an accident at an army training exercise.
Jamie Cuthbertson, from Bearsden, East Dunbartonshire, was blinded after an accident at an army training exercise.'s 'See the Person, Not the Sight Loss' campaign.
The 62-year-old said:"I do think that the public is generally more aware of the abilities of people with disabilities now. "However, I still think there is a lack of knowledge about the best way to interact on a one-to-one level, such as offering assistance rather than imposing it on you. "The most irritating misperception that sighted people have about sight loss is that you have also lost your intelligence, hearing and ability to carry out day-to-day tasks."I also think that the majority of the general public believe that a white cane means you are totally blind - there is little understanding of the variety of ways in which different types of sight loss affect individuals.
