Abstract

This descriptive study is based on telephone interviews with 56 people who had obtained a Wide Angle Mobility Light (WAML). Respondents were queried about usage, applications, malfunctions, strengths, and limitations of the aid. The results indicated that the device enabled users to function visually in situations where they normally could not and that training requirements were minimal. Frequency of use and changes in travel patterns and satisfaction and dissatisfaction with the WAML's physical characteristics are described.
