In my 40s now. Born without a working optic nerve in my right eye. I am legally blind (they don’t let me drive) and vision in left eye getting worse over time. I’ve always had problems focusing. Had surgery on my L eye musculature twice when I was a child. There is ALWAYS a slight tilt in my head to the right. Glasses have never helped. The only thing they do do is make things ‘pop and sparkle’ more. I’m considering getting reading glasses now - native reddit iPad app is getting hard to read. I’m convinced at some point I’ll be completely blind. I have no depth perception. Have never been able to ride a bike even. Love the outdoors but serious hiking for me is a comedy of errors. Ladies love that I can’t drive them anywhere, so I’m still single. And I’ve never “known” another visually impaired person. I’d like to, so I guess that’s why I’m here. And I’d like to prepare for the inevitable. I’m not hear to bitch. I know many of you have it much worse than me, but I guess these are the things that identify me, or perhaps I let identify me, so it’s who I am.
I’m fairly high functioning other than that. I have a really good job in HR for a Crown Corporation in Canada. I’ve seen a few people asking for Eli in the job search, so wen I have time I’ll be happy to help.
I do have one pressing question tho. I have no depth perception and I’m gaining a bit more weight these days, I’m at 210, pushing 220, which is pushing m further away from my feet when seated. How does one cut their toenails when they can’t easily do it by feel?
Happy Sunday!
