Any low vision folks out there? (self.Blind)
submitted by son_of_szyslak
Hi everyone. Does anybody on this sub have low vision? I'm just curious as i don't normally get to talk to many people like me.

I am completely blind in $1 from total retina detachment, and a prophylactic tube barely holding together the one for my left. They have been like that since I was 4 or 5, and I can't remember what it's like to have had depth perception. I have a few issues in addition to being 34 and severely nearsighted, such as its continued deterioration as well as random onsets of pain and involuntary weeping in my deadeye, but for the most part I try to soldier through self-sufficiency to the best of my abilities in spite of the many obstacles that I face. :)

-7.5 right eye, -8.25 left eye plus astigmatism.

It's correctible, so I am not legally blind. Without contacts, though, it is difficult to function. I bump into doorways because I cannot gauge where edges are. I cannot read unless a page is less than 3 or 4 inches from my face. Daily, I am grateful for what science has accomplished.

My corrected vision varies greatly by day. Good days are about 20/50, bad days are teetering on legally blind. So I count, but I'm on the closer to 'normal' side now. My left eye fucks off some days too.

Uncorrected? I'm at about a -18 with severe astigmatism.

Legally blind, not quite sure what my visual acuity is.

I too came here from the askReddit thread. It seems like most of this thread is just sighted people asking questions about being blind.

I found it really funny that, when I first went here from that thread, there were about 70 subscribers but like 400 currently viewing.
