The Checkered Eye Project in Port Elgin, Canada, aims to raise awareness about individuals on the blindness spectrum who may not use a white cane but still have impaired vision. The project promotes the use of the checkered eye symbol as a way for those with visual difficulties to communicate their needs and increase visibility in various settings.
By wearing the checkered eye emblem, individuals with low vision can signal their condition to others, reducing confusion, frustration, and embarrassment in social interactions. The project encourages sighted individuals to be mindful of the symbol and offers resources for supporting those with visual impairments.
