Questions and answers-- Who is blind?-- Braille: what is it? What does it mean to the blind?-- Independent travel-- Cooking techniques-- Sewing techniques-- Marking dials and tactile labeling-- Shopping ideas-- Older blind and visually impaired persons-- Common eye conditions and causes of blindness in the United States-- Who are the blind who lead the blind.

Defining a "blind person" as one who has to develop so many alternative techniques as to substantially alter his pattern of living, this guide encourages the newly blind to ask "how can I do it?" rather than "can I do it?" The history and purpose of the National Federation of the Blind are discussed as are other available services, programs, devices, and employment information.
