As long as they can do their job the same as anyone else, I don't see the problem in it.

If anything, I think I'd have more grounds to trust them since I know how hard it is to get a foothold in an incredibly "visual" industry.

I don’t care as long as you can get the job done correctly and professionally. ‘Correctly and professionally’ are operative words here. There are countless people who get the job done partially and badly, and call it good.

As far as the relationship and care part, a VI healthcare provider is not a guarantee to receive a less inhumane treatment. Sometimes, they resent VI people for mirroring their worst fears, or they simply don’t care.

My optometrist is high myope, always makes sure to mention it, but she completely fails at healthcare providing and basic human decency.

Not saying you’re like that, far from it. But for most, we’re chronic patients who are tired of being bs’ed around, made invisible and burdensome to the system.

Just be a professional and courteous tech, that’s all we’re asking.

For me it would be fine, not that I would want hand holding, but it's nice to have someone who gets it. There are plenty of amazing doctors, nurses, midwives etc in the world but sometimes when they've gone through it too it can make a big difference

I doubt I would think much about it at all as long as you were able to get the required test results.

I have bad nystagmus and microphthalmia though, so usually, I get passed straight to the doctors anyway.

I would love it, assuming you were qualified. I am Usher's too, so that would just send me over the moon.

If they can still do their job, sure! Why the heck not!? But, as said, only if they can do their job otherwise what's the point 😂

Blind leading the blind.

Pass.

Don't want a crippled physical therapist, either.
