Colorado Center for the Blind

Every so often, a photo pops up of a blind or low vision person using a white cane and a smartphone, and people act like they just solved a mystery.

Spoiler alert: blind people use phones.

A lot.

My phone helps me check my makeup, manage my schedule, stay connected with friends and family, figure out what I’m looking at, remember where I’m supposed to be, and occasionally convince myself I definitely do not need to buy another lip gloss.

Honestly, my phone is basically my personal assistant, glam-check consultant, calendar manager, group chat lifeline, and tiny rectangular chaos coordinator.

A smartphone is not proof someone can see.

It is one of the biggest tools helping many of us live independently.

So no, using a smartphone does not mean someone is faking their disability.

It means accessibility is doing its job.
