Delta Gamma’s philanthropy Service for Sight works to educate others about the steps we can take to preserve vision. This information from Prevent Blindness helps debunk common myths when it comes to your eyes. Learn more at preventblindness.org/common-eye-myths.

For people who are blind, the white cane is an essential tool that gives the ability to achieve a full and independent life. It allows people to move freely and safely from place to place — whether it’s at work, at school, or around our neighborhoods. White Cane Awareness Day is a way to emphasize the critical role that the tool plays. When you see someone using a white cane, remember that the cane is their tool to navigate the environment safely and independently. There’s no need to shout warnings or try to physically steer them. If they need any help or direction, they will ask! If you are driving or cycling and see someone using a white cane, you must follow the law and stop to give that person the right of way.
