The 2009 Eye Ball-Dancing with our Stars
Transition Students learn about the art of glass blowing
The Belmont Arts and Cultural Center will be hosting a glass blowing workshop for several blind and visually impaired teenagers from Independence for the Blind of West Florida Saturday February 28 from 1:30-4:30pm. The group will be learning about the art of glass blowing. Each student will create glass art pieces to be auctioned off at the 2009 Eyeball Saturday March 7 at the Hilton Pensacola Beach Gulf Front.
The teens are participants in IB West’s Transition Program, funded in part by the Florida Department of Education, Division of Blind Services. The Transition Program prepares visually impaired high school students for college and the workforce through training in several areas: computer and adaptive software, socialization and recreation, vocational training such as resume writing, interviewing skills, and career exploration.
The Belmont Arts and Cultural Center is located in the historic Belmont-Devilliers community and offers classes in pottery wheel throwing, glass bead making, glass blowing, and sponsors the Belmont Youth Band. To learn more about what the Belmont Arts and Cultural Center offers, visit their website at www.belmontartscenter.com.

Pictured above, from left: Annely, Megan, Erin, Darreck, Cassie, John, and Alex in the Maze.
The students from the Transition Program split up into teams, boys vs. girls. Their “challenge” was to make it through the Gran Maze, a human-sized maze the size of a football field. At the start point, each participant had to “clock-in” using their maze ticket so their start time is recorded. They then had to find four checkpoints, which were located at the top of wooden lookout spots.
Pictured above: Erin and Annely try to find their way to one of the checkpoints (the wooden towers with blue, orange, green, and red roofs).
Pictured above: Students on top of one of four checkpoints, trying to figure out how to get through Gran Maze.
Pictured above: Erin happy she finally found one of the checkpoints.Once at the top of the checkpoint, participants had to punch a hole in their ticket at each location. Participants were to find the finish line and “clock-out” to show their end time. Every team member had to make it to the finish line for their team to win the challenge.
Pictured above: John and Darreck, lost in the maze.
Each group worked extremely hard to make it to the finish line first. The boy’s team was in the lead until they made it to the third checkpoint. At that time, the girl’s team was able to catch up, because they had used better communication skills than the boy’s team. The final checkpoint was extremely hard to find for both teams.
Pictured above: the boys look down from a checkpoint as Alicia takes a picture from the maze below.
After a long time of traveling down the wrong path, coming to dead ends, and going in circles, a member of the girl’s team found the last checkpoint. A strategy was then developed:
Send one participant ahead while another stays on the tower at the checkpoint and yells direction to the finish line. The girls ALMOST had it, but the boy’s team made it to the finish line 2 minutes before the remainder of the girls could find it!
CONGRATULATIONS BOYS TEAM!

WHAT IS BRAILLE?
Braille is used by blind people throughout the world. Braille is a code based on an arrangement of one to six raised dots. Each dot has a number to indicate where it is. There are 64 ways to arrange the 6 dots in the rectangular box that is called a Braille cell.
The Braille characters make up the letters of the alphabet, punctuation marks, numbers, and everything else you can write in print.
For more information on Braille, you can visit this website, which has awesome explanations of the Braille Alphabet.
http://www.omniglot.com/writing/braille.htm
WHO INVENTED BRAILLE?
Louis Braille (1809-1852)
Six dots. Six bumps. Six bumps in different patterns, like constellations, spreading out over the page. What are they? Numbers, letters, words. Who made this code? None other than Louis Braille, a French 12-year-old, who was also blind. And his work changed the world of reading and writing, forever.
Louis was from a small town called Coupvray, near Paris—he was born on January 4 in 1809. Louis became blind by accident, when he was 3 years old. Deep in his Dad's harness workshop, Louis tried to be like his Dad, but it went very wrong; he grabbed an awl, a sharp tool for making holes, and the tool slid and hurt his eye. The wound got infected, and the infection spread, and soon, Louis was blind in both eyes.
All of a sudden, Louis needed a new way to learn. He stayed at his old school for two more years, but he couldn't learn everything just by listening. Things were looking up when Louis got a scholarship to the Royal Institution for Blind Youth in Paris, when he was 10. But even there, most of the teachers just talked at the students. The library had 14 huge books with raised letters that were very hard to read. Louis was impatient.
Then in 1821, a former soldier named Charles Barbier visited the school. Barbier shared his invention called "night writing," a code of 12 raised dots that let soldiers share top-secret information on the battlefield without even having to speak. Unfortunately, the code was too hard for the soldiers, but not for 12-year-old Louis!
Louis trimmed Barbier's 12 dots into 6, ironed out the system by the time he was 15, then published the first-ever Braille book in 1829. But did he stop there? No way! In 1837, he added symbols for math and music. But since the public was skeptical, blind students had to study Braille on their own. Even at the Royal Institution, where Louis taught after he graduated, Braille wasn't taught until after his death. Braille began to spread worldwide in 1868, when a group of British men, now known as the Royal National Institute for the Blind, took up the cause.
Now practically every country in the world uses Braille. Braille books have double-sided pages, which saves a lot of space. Braille signs help blind people get around in public spaces. And, most important, blind people can communicate independently, without needing print.
Braille Technology
Modern technology has made many useful tools for people who read and write Braille. There are some devices that produce books in Braille and others that let people read information on computers and from the Internet. Some devices are simple and inexpensive and others are very complicated. The devices below are used by many people who read Braille to complete their schoolwork, take care of personal business, and do their jobs at work.
Slate and Stylus
The slate and stylus are inexpensive, portable tools used to write Braille - just the way paper and pencil are used for writing print. Slates are made of two flat pieces of metal or plastic held together by a hinge at one end. The slate opens up to hold paper. The top part has rows of openings that are the same shape and size as a Braille cell. The back part has rows of indentations in the size and shape of Braille cells. The stylus is a pointed piece of metal with a plastic or wooden handle. The stylus is used to punch or emboss the Braille dots onto the paper held in the slate. The indentations in the slate prevent the stylus from punching a hole in the paper when the dots are embossed. Slates and styluses come in many shapes and sizes.
Braille Displays
A Braille display is a device that has a row of special "soft" cells made of plastic or metal pins. The pins are controlled by a computer and move up or down to display, in Braille, the characters that appear on the computer screen. This type of Braille is said to be "refreshable," because it changes as the user moves around on the screen. The Braille display usually sits under the computer keyboard.
Electronic Braille Notetakers
Electronic Braille notetakers are portable devices with Braille keyboards that Braille readers can use to enter information. The text stored in these devices can be read with a built-in Braille display or the device can read aloud with a synthesized voice. These devices are handy for taking notes in class, and often have built-in address books, calculators, and calendars, too!
Braille Printers (Embossers)
Braille printers are devices connected to a computer that do the actual embossing of Braille onto thick (heavyweight) paper. They work like a regular computer printer does, in that the user can print out letters, reports, and other files from the computer.
Braille writers
This student is using a Perkins braillewriter to complete his homework. The mechanical braillewriter works a little bit like a typewriter. It has six keys—one for each dot in a Braille cell—a space bar, a backspace key, a carriage return, and a line feed key. The braillewriter uses heavyweight paper (just like the Braille printer) but it doesn't need any electricity to work.

What does it feel like to be blind?
Visitors are led by blind or visually impaired guides through a specially constructed and totally darkened Exhibition, in which sounds, wind, temperatures, and textures covey the characteristics of common daily environments such as a park or cityscape. In the dark, these environments take on a whole new dimension. Visitors must rely on the guides for security and orientation in this world without pictures. Relying also on their other senses, visitors learn to “see” in an entirely new way. Their experience leads to reflection: social borders are reduced and ignorance gets changed into openness and respect.
Click here to check out some video.
Andreas Heinecke, PhD, the founder of DIALOG IN THE DARK, brought his exhibit to the United States in 2008. Heinecke experienced first hand the lack of employment opportunities for people who are blind and visually impaired when he worked as Vice-Director of the Stiftung Blindenanstalt (Foundation for the Blind) in Hamburg, Germany. He concluded that prejudice created fear, avoidance, and stereotypes, which prevented the disabled from accessing education, information, career opportunities, transportation, and leisure activities. He created Diaglog in the Dark as a way for sighted individuals to "see" what it is like to be blind, thus gaining compassion, respect, and understanding of blind and visually impaired individuals.
Dialog in the Dark will be in Atlanta at the Premier Exhibition Center at Atlantic Station until March 1, 2009.

Lack of Knowledge Regarding Eye Health
According to a survey sponsored by the National Eye Institute and the Lions Club Internation Foundation, most Americans do not know risks and warning signs of some of the leading causes of low vision and blindness. The survey, titled Public Knowledge, Attitude, and Practices Related to Eye Health and Disease, was taken from a random selection of adults by a national telephone survey between October 2005 and January 2006. 71 % Respondents stated that on a scale of 1-10 (10 being the worst, having the greatest impact on their day-to-day life), loss of their eyesight would rate a 10! Yet, survey results show that 41% of Hispanics, 28% of Asians, 26% African Americans, and 16% of Caucasians had not seen or heard anything within the past year relating to eye health.
If Americans are so worried about losing their eyesight, why do we know so little about what threatens it?
I am posting information about some of the most common eye diseases below. I hope this information is helpful!
· Glaucoma
Glaucoma affects more than 3 million Americans. It is the leading cause of blindness among African-Americans and Hispanics and the number two cause of blindness in the elderly. Glaucoma causes no symptoms early in its course. Instead, its victims are likely to notice only blurred vision or a loss of peripheral vision. Even at that point, glaucoma can be treated, but the lost vision cannot be restored.
· Age-related macular degeneration (AMD)
Macular degeneration is the leading cause of vision loss and blindness in Americans age 65 and older. The eye-health organization Prevent Blindness America estimates that 13 million Americans have AMD. The National Eye Institute states that the number of Americans with moderate to severe AMD will reach 17 million by 2020.
· Optic nerve atrophy (ONA)
Optic nerve atrophy (ONA) is caused by tissue damage in the optic nerve. This can result in either partial or profound loss of vision. Optic nerve atrophy reduces central vision acuity so a person can no longer see detail; reduces the field of vision; and decreases reaction of the pupil to light sources. Once vision is lost through ONA, it cannot be recovered.
· Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic Retinopathy affects 5.3 million Americans age eighteen and older. It often has no early warning signs. If undetected and untreated, diabetic retinopathy causes the small blood vessels in the back of the eye to leak or burst. Blood leaking into the eye causes clouding and blurry vision in early stages, and if left untreated can lead to blindness.
· Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP)
Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) is a progressive disorder that results from the degeneration of the rods and cones in the retina. As the rods and cones degenerate, gradual vision loss occurs.
The disease often first occurs in adolescence and continues to progress as the individual ages. Often RP results in blindness in young adults.
· Cataracts
Although 20.5 million Americans age 40 and older have cataracts, cataracts are one of the most curable causes of vision loss. A cataract is the clouding of the eye's normally clear lens, blocking the passage of light needed for vision. They form slowly and cause no pain. Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness worldwide; however, in most cases, vision loss from cataracts is reversible.

Transition Students Participate in Chili Cook-Off
The teens decided to split the teams into a boys vs. girls competition. John O’Dillon, CVRT, first talked with the students about what ingredients make a good chili sauce. He also explained proper preparation for the bell peppers, garlic, and onions. Both teams put great effort and thought into their chili, but in the end, the judges (from the Glenwood Community Center) stated that Erin and Cassie’s sweet and spicy chili just had “more kick”. Listed below are the recipes for both chili’s, and some pictures from the activity.
The Transition Program organizes recreation and leisure activities each month to encourage the teens to get involved and find hobbies they enjoy. For more information, please contact 850-477-2663.

White Cane Safety Day Fun Facts
Wednesday October 15 is White Cane Safety Day.
In 2002, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated there are more than 161 million visually impaired people around the world. Millions use a white cane for mobility.
Below I have provided a little background history on the White Cane, which I found at Wikipedia.org.
Blind people have used canes as mobility tools for centuries, but it was not until after World War I that the white cane was introduced.
In 1921 James Biggs, a photographer from Bristol who became blind after an accident and was uncomfortable with the amount of traffic around his home, painted his walking stick white to be more easily visible.
In 1931 in France, Guilly d'Herbemont launched a national white stick movement for blind people.
In the United States, the introduction of the white cane is attributed to George A. Bonham of the Lions Clubs International (http://www.lionsclubs.org). In 1930, a Lions Club member watched as a man who was blind attempted to cross the street with a black cane that was barely visible to motorists against the dark pavement. The Lions decided to paint the cane white to make it more visible. In 1931, Lions Clubs International began a program promoting the use of white canes for people who are blind.
The first special White Cane Ordinance was passed in December 1930 in Peoria, Illinois granting blind pedestrians protections and the right-of-way while carrying a white cane.
On October 6, 1964, a joint resolution of the Congress, HR 753, was signed into law authorizing the President of the United States to proclaim October 15 of each year as "White Cane Safety Day". President Lyndon Johnson was the first to make this proclamation.
National Federation for the Blind offers free canes to blind and visually impaired Americans
The National Federation of the Blind (NFB), has launched an initiative to ensure that any blind person in the United States and Puerto Rico who needs a long white cane will have one, regardless of their ability to pay. The NFB will provide a free cane to anyone in the fifty states, the District of Columbia, or Puerto Rico who is blind or has low vision and who uses or desires to use a white cane in order to travel independently. This historic initiative is the largest effort ever of its kind to provide white canes to individuals who are blind or have low vision.
The long white cane provides an effective means for blind students to get to school, blind adults to get to work, and blind seniors to remain active. White canes allow individuals who are visually impaired the ability to increase mobility and gain independence.
The National Federation of the Blind will provide a straight, light fiberglass cane to any blind individual in the United States or Puerto Rico who requires the cane for personal use. Canes are available in the following lengths: 53, 55, 57, 59, 61, or 63 inches. Individuals may only request one free cane in any six-month period.

White Cane Awareness Day
Did you know that White Cane Safety Day is held on October 15 of each year? President Lyndon B. Johnson, along with Congress, signed a joint resolution in 1964 as a way to increase knowledge among Americans that the white cane is a tool used by the blind and visually impaired, and also a tool that helps them live more independently. We will be having our annual White Cane Awareness Day activities Wednesday October 22, 2008 from 11:30am to 1:3opm at New World Landing. Beginning at 11:3o, there will be informational booths from various organizations and agencies that serve the visually impaired. A complimentary lunch will be provided, and after the luncheon two special guests will cross Palafox Street blindfolded to raise awareness of White Cane Laws.
White Cane Law 316.1301
1. It is unlawful for any person, unless totally or paritally blind or otherwise incapacitated, while on any public street or highway, to carry in a raised or extended position a cane or walking stick which is whilte in color or white tipped with red.
2. Whenever a pedestrian is crossing, or attempting to cross a public street or highway, guided by a guide dog or carrying in a raised or extended position a cane or walking stick which is white in color or white tipped with red, the driver of every vehicle approaching the intersection or place where the pedestrian is attempting to cross shall bring his or her vehicle to a full stop before arriving at such intersectino or place of crossing and, before proceeding, shall take such precautions as may be necessary to avoid injuring such pedestrian. A person who is convicted of violation of this subsection is guilting of moving violation punishable as provided in Chapter 428.
For the entire White Cane Law, you can go to http://dbs.myflorida.com/laws/white_cane.php
If you would like to attend Independence for the Blind of West Florida's White Cane Awareness Day, please RSVP to Lindsay Pieler, Public Relations Specislist no later than October16. 477-2663
Have a great week!

Ten Warning Signs of Age-Related Eye Problems
1. A flood of spots and floaters in your field of vision.
2. A sensation that a dark curtain has settled across your field of view, which could be signs of retinal detachment.
3. Sudden eye pain, redness, nausea, and vomiting. These symptoms can signal a sudden (acute) attack of narrow-angle glaucoma, which can permanently damage the eye's optic nerve. Immediate treatment is required to prevent permanent vision loss.
4. A gradual (or sudden) narrowing of your field of vision, leaving you with the ability to see only directly in front of you. This could mean you have developed glaucoma that damages your optic nerve.
5. A gradual loss of central vision, including distortions such as seeing wavy instead of straight lines. This is a sign of macular degeneration.
6. Cloudy and blurred eyesight, "halos" around lights at night, loss of bright color vision. These vision changes may be due to cataracts.
7. Blind spots in your field of view, accompanied by eye floaters and unexplained blurred vision. If you have diabetes, these vision problems may be due to the onset of diabetic retinopathy.
8. "Scratchy" or irritated sensation, eye surface pain, tearing.
9. Double vision, double images, or "ghost" images.
10. Sudden blurry vision in one eye.
While some vision symptoms are less urgent, sudden vision loss means you should immediately contact your eye care practitioner.
You also can reduce your chances of developing serious eye problems by maintaining a healthy lifestyle, along with undergoing regular eye exams.

Link between Age-related macular degeneration & stroke risk
Researchers have found the people with age related macular degeneration are more likely to die from a heart attack or stroke.
The study, which followed more than 3000 people, (who were all over the age of 49 at the onset of the study) for 10 years, found that those who had the late stage of the disease at the onset of the study were had five times the risk of dying from a heart attack and 10 times the risk of dying from a stroke.
Individuals who developed early age-related macular degeneration during the study had twice the risk of dying form a heart attack or stork within the next decade.
These findings are significant because there is concern that some current treatments for the disease may increase stroke risk.
Researchers caution that the findings are based on a relativley small study and should be interpreted with caution.

The Duoptix material, made of two interwoven hydrogels, is transparent and swells to a water content of 80%-similar to biological tissues. The hydrogel is nutrient permeable, allowing the cornea to receive glucose, it’s favorite food. The material is also strong and flexible, allowing it to survive suturing during surgery.
According to Christopher Ta, assistant professor of ophthalmology at
Other future applications for the material could include use as more comfortable extended wear contacts, implanted contacts or even replacements for inner-eye lenses damaged by cataracts.

Well, it is a horse, of course!
Most of us have encountered a visually impaired person with a guide dog, but have you ever seen a guide horse?
The Guide Horse Foundation website lists several advantages that miniature horses have over dogs as service animals, including: longer life span (30-40 years), greater acceptance in public places, calm & focused nature, good memory, excellent vision and not easily distracted. Even with all of these attributes, it is highly unlikely that horses will replaces dogs as guides for the blind.
The National Federation of the Blind adopted a resolution in 2001 that opposes the use of guide horses. The resolution states: “We affirm the fundamental right of blind people to use properly trained dogs, and oppose any effort, such as the use of inappropriate animals, which would degrade that right.

Scientists use English Mastiff to study eye disease
Researchers at
The research is expected to allow scientists to find treatments and cures for these forms of blindness in humans, and it will also help to eradicate the condition in dogs. Scientists have already developed a genetic screening test for breeders to help eliminate the defective gene in purebred English Mastiffs.
The study is being sponsored in part by The Foundation Fighting Blindness.

Diabetic African Americans have increased risk of vision loss
New study findings show that African Americans with type one diabetes have a high risk of vision loss.
Dr. Monique S. Roy, lead investigator, of the
Dr. Roy and co-investigator, Dr. Joan Sunice, followed approximately 500 African Americans with tpe 1 diabetes over a period of 6 years to determine rate of vision loss and associated risk factors.
In addition to poor blood sugar control, older age, high protein levels in the urine, and diabetic retinopathy were all independent predictors of vision loss over 6 years.
Dr.Roy noted: “Since African Americans with diabetes as a whole have poor blood sugar control, a major effort to improve glucose control must be made by patients and physicians taking care of such patients..”
Information for this post was gathered form an article written by Joene Hendry for Reuters Health.

Blindness Prevention Costly
Lucentis, a breakthrough drug that treats and reverses wet macular degeneration, is a lifesaver for many affected by the condition. However, at $2,000 a monthly dose, required for the rest of the patients life, the treatment is out of reach for many.
Doctors in
One ophthalmologist reports that many of his patients are able to read three more lines on an eye chart after receiving a few rounds of treatment with Avastin. Avastin is also cheaper, with one monthly dose costing as little as $150 for the patient. However, because Avastin is being used off label to treat wet macular degeneration, there are some concerns.
Lucentis was subjected to nearly 10 years of clinical studies before being approved by the FDA to treat macular degeneration. Avastin was not studied or approved for use in the eye.
There is upcoming research planned to determine which of the drugs is actually better. The U.S. Government funded National Eye Institute approved a trial in principle that would pit the two drugs against each other.
