Knowing what you’re missing, and being able to do nothing about it, really sucks, especially full blindness, not just legally blind.
Don’t get me wrong, legally blind (just seeing shapes and stuff) still sucks, it’s just hard to compare to full blindness.
I say this as my brother’s medical situation is slowly causing his retina to detach which will lead to full blindness. He’s a graphic designer by education. It’s cruel. He’s not quite legally blind yet, he can still drive in good conditions, but it’s degenerative and getting worse, and will not get better, only worse. The only treatment is to slow the deterioration, nothing will prevent or reverse it.
