What Are The Differences Between Born Blind & Becoming Blind? (feat. Christine Ha) (youtube.com)

Definitely strongly feel Tommy's sentiment every single day when he responds to the question about which would be better, to either be born blind or two lose sight later on. Not knowing what things look like anymore and having to constantly rely on my previously photographic memory is an extremely difficult thing to process every day, and that definitely drives me nuts. It makes me angry and despond and sometimes, and excessively frustrated having to be so dependent and running into accessibility issues on devices and systems that I used to be lightning fast at with my vision intact.

This. I am a senior in college, and I'll frustrated everyday at how long tasks take because of my equipment. People don't always think about how much harder I have to work because of my limited vision and wonder why I'm taking so long on a task that should've been completed an hour ago.

That is a very interesting point that I have yet to hear on this subject
