Be My Eyes

Accessible Support starts here

As a partner, you gain valuable insights while improving your company’s inclusive culture by offering sighted assistance to people living with blindness and low vision.

How it works

By simply making a video call, blind or partially sighted users can connect with CNIB Agents who help provide sighted assistance for everyday tasks, big and small. Our agents provide support for people with sight loss with important everyday tasks such as navigating new environments, reading prescriptions and receipts, processing private transactions, navigating websites and much more.

Testimonial

The first time Shaun stepped foot on a new campus, he used Be My Eyes. “I wanted to do something on my own, I wanted that feeling of independence,” says Shaun. So, he opened the Be My Eyes app and was connected to a CNIB Agent. Together, they found the entrance to the building. Shaun felt on top of the world.
