Visually Impaired in a Visual World

Being a visually impaired person, I am trying to cope with the situation and convey some personal experience and ideas to VIPs and non-VIPs, their family and friends.

My mother and I are suffering from a progressing, hereditary form of macular degeneration, to be more precise, it is a macular dystrophy, which leads to loss of central vision.  

The picture shows a bridge with distorted lines, as it might typically appear for people with macular problems (often AMD).
Wheras this bridge might still look like this for my mum, I would have difficulties to see it at all and probably think, I have to take a boat or swim to the other side... 

(Well, being serious, but let's also try to keep the spirits up.)

"Is this how you see?"

Sam Seavey from The Blind Life
made a very good video about "how I see".

My Story

Funny and not so funny situations due to visual impairment.

My Blog

I'll try to look at things differently, think "out of the box" and to find solutions for what I thought there weren't any - all with a bit of humor. 

Inspired by my late aunt, I called my personal project RitA – Read It Through Apps...
