Born with sight. Eye disease Uveitis kicked in in 2011, both my retinas detached, keep having treatment but disease is chronic and comes back each time. I'm legally classified as low vision, and am having 2 eye surgeries in November.

Retinitis Pigmentosa is a degenerative, genetic disease. I've been legally blind since I was 16 (the age you become eligible for the Disability Support Pension. I'm 29 now) under the criteria of having under 10° peripheral vision (I now have none, more or less).

I still have usable central vision in my left eye, but it has declined in recent years and I will be totally blind at some unknown point in the future (my grandfather was totally blind around his mid to late 50s, but my progression is more advanced than his at the same age).

Born blind for me, as per my flair. Never even had light perception.

Born with a hereditary defect called Stickler's Syndrome that's caused multiple retina detachments. I'm not legally blind yet but getting close. I'm currently completely blind in my left eye and am missing about 20% of the peripheral in my right eye.

I was born legally blind. I see a bit better than I did then thanks to corrective surgery and strengthening my bad eye with patches. Still legally blind though.

Born with a glaucoma in both eyes and only 10% of sight, lost it 3 years ago.

Partially blind now, born totally sighted. Been legally blind for about 3 and a half years
