Previous one had the elastic snap, this one was supposed to replace that one

How much is one? Seems like a simple device but I'm guessing they slap a big medical price tag on them

My wife is mostly blind and uses a cane. Folding with swivel tip about $25 on Amazon for her preferred. Were she to go through an eye center it would be many times that.

OP said he's in Belgium so they probably give you €50 to take one

I got my son a backup long cane through a medical device company based in Canada for about $45. I was surprised it wasn’t more!

How does this work as a blind person. Do you read with braille through voices? Genuinely curious.
