Original Note:
It is possible to be registered as blind and have some level of sight - a white and red cane suggests a hearing impairment in addition to vision. The person walking is showing good standard use of a cane. Blind people can use touch phones. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/vision-loss/#:~:text=Registering%20as%20blind%20or%20partially,(previously%20%22blind%22). https://www.rnib.org.uk/living-with-sight-loss/assistive-aids-and-technology/phones-and-tablets/what-is-a-smartphone/ https://www.guidedogs.org.uk/getting-support/information-and-advice/life-skills/getting-around-safely/what-type-of-cane-do-i-need/
