Blind Solutions Worldwide: Share Your Daily Living Hacks

Living without sight sparks creativity. ​Share your daily life hacks – your practical tips could empower someone on the other side of the world!

Inspiration (Real User Examples):

🇰🇷 From South Korea:
"Preventing overflows: Clip a ​metal binder clip to the pot’s outer rim – fill water until it touches the clip. Note: Keep clips away from flames."

🇨🇳 From China:
"Use a ​long wooden spoon across the pot – stop pouring water when it reaches the spoon handle. Doubles as a heat-safe grip."

3. Clothing Management
🇪🇬 From Egypt:
"Sock pairing: Sew ​different numbers of beads into each toe (1 bead on left, 2 on right) to distinguish pairs by touch."

4. Money Identification
