Be My Eyes is a remarkable new app that assists blind people and those living with low vision see where they are going. The Smartphone application pairs users who have questions or need directions. People who have interest in helping the blind get around can download the app and lend their eyes.

"I think the reason for this is that it is very easy to understand the value of Be My Eyes for everyone, and there is something very pure and good about the connection between people," said Alexander Hauerslev Jensen, community director at Be My Eyes. "I think it is very human to want to help someone, but on a busy day, it can be hard to find the time. That is why Be My Eyes works so well — because it is very easy to have a big impact on another person's life."

If you need assistance for vision loss, SDCB has several programs that can help.
