I have cone rod dystrophy and as of now I'm 20 200. Was told it will reach 20 400, so I wanted to see if I will at least still watch tv or play my guitar by sight or just muscle memory. I use my phone camera as it has good HD so i use it more than expensive E readers.

I have the same acuity. Everything is blurry and nearly incomprehensible beyond like 4 feet. I could even barely read a large calendar even if I'm 6 feet away. I had glasses but I broke them so I had spent my recent 8 years without one. I'm used to it and I could navigate large spaces, albeit squinting constantly.

Great video!

Subscribed. Us blind people need to support each other, coz TOGETHER we can make a bigger noise that will bring about change. I am a legally blind INTERNATIONAL student... Imagine my employment challenged :(

This makes me appreciate my vision even though i have vision snow syndrome i can still drive thank you lord, I pray for yall the Lord Jesus has healed blind people god bless yall

Without glasses or contact lenses my vision is about 20/70 in my left and 20/50 in my right and with glasses it’s well above 20/30

Story of my life I hate it & then trying to explain it to people because I don’t look “”like a blind person they say

Why did you stop making videos? I'm 47 and legally blind (20/500). Please start making more videos. Its true, people with disabilities get the shaft.

For Australians who were told they were legally blind despite their vision being corrected beyond 20/200, it’s a legal definition so it varies from country to country. Most countries use America’s definition, though.

Thank you sir…. I didn’t see her say “Holy Moly” ………..

20/400 here looks way better than what it was before I had LASIK. I wouldn’t have been able to tell that was a tree, or a dog.

You have to stay on it. The turns are the most important things in racing. What would I know 63

I just sent this video to both my mother and father. Just to give them a reference point. This is very very similar to the way I see. Appreciate the video. I also use a lot of visual cues in my day-to-day life

Wow, when the cameraman adjusted for 20/400, so many memories came rushing back. That was how I saw the world without glasses (no, I was not legally blind and never claimed to be back then, for the record :) ). They weren't Coke bottles, but they were pretty thick. I also had a severe astigmatism, and in the 70's and 80's I was told I couldn't do contacts because of that. I was pretty active and went through my share of glasses (Dad did not like that, but bats and balls and other sports took a toll, lol), and yes, what the cameraman saw was what I saw. Not fun. Ended up getting Lasik in 2002 (after much research, talking to the clinic, these are my only pair of eyes after all). Best choice I ever made. Went from 20/400 to 20/15. That was 20 years ago, and while my age will always play a factor, as now I'm starting to see (no pun intended lol) that there is a touch of blurriness starting to set in (in my 50's now), but ever so slightly, so probably gonna pay the good ol' optometrist a visit within a couple of years. Good video and thank you for posting. Wish I could've had a pair of those goggles to show my friends in HS back then :).

My vision before glasses is 20/400 (20/20 with glasses but still have distortion from my cornea that can't be corrected with glasses). The 20/400 on camera when I have my glasses on is fairly close to how blurry it is with them off (minus the distortion that can't be corrected with glasses).

Can you do this with 20/800 vision? Im 16 and I have 20/800 and I want to see what it's like for other people to react to it.

welcome to our blurry world

I have 20/400 vision but I am able to have it corrected to 20/20. I would like to try these glasses to see how well it replicates 20/400.

1:02 THANK YOU!!! Trying to explain to some people is like grinding teeth.

I hate when people try to simulate legal blindness. As he said in the beginning, it's very different for everyone. I have a rare genetic retinal condition, and I can see a car, tell you the color, the type (Car or truck or more), and also see if it's moving from a 1/2 mile away. That being said, I can't read the 2nd row of an eye chart from 20 feet away. I can see the leaves on trees, I can see animals in a pasture that are 2 thousand feet away, yet I can't read that eye chart. It's literally different for everyone.

I have progressive degenerative myopia I'm legally blind my best corrected with glasses is 20/900 my astigmatism is 153 my refractive error is -13 this video is all the way accurate

I’ve got 20/390 in both eyes…

I have 20/400 in one eye and im only 14 :(

I’m sorry about your Vison difficulties:( . Stay Strong

I have 20/400 and have to be right in front of it to read it without contacts or glasses.

Thank you. Very informative. Just found out our six year old son has 20/100. Not as blurry but gives me a perspective of how he sees.

For 6 months I had a vision prescription of 20/400 in my right eye due to a pituitary gland growth pressing against my optic nerve. Luckily I had it removed and have gone back to my regular prescription. Losing your vision is truly terrifying.

This ought to be redone where the guy with dark glasses asks "what do you see.?" He gave an auditory clue by saying "do you see a tree and a phone pole.?"

I'm 20/400 Right eye and 20/70 left with Hypertropia with both eyes and astigmatism. I just find it funny how I can read my phone only because it's 4 feet away from me but I can't read a street sign unless im under it

Everyone: 20/400 Me:

Amazing

I lost my vision almost two years ago. One year ago, we had a social worker who said that leaving our kids with me alone was the same as child neglect. Even though I know that she is wrong, legally and morally for saying that, it does not change the fact that I am now terrified of being alone with my own kids (who are 9 and 11 btw). It is also sickening to realize that I made more per month working part time at a gas station than what I get with disability... The sheer lack of empathy is just so heartbreaking. Apparently being labeled as disabled makes you less than human.

What a great place! Amazing!

30 years walking on this planet I call Home and only now do I find out that "legally blind" means "The country you live in has designated you as 'No-Eyes'."

All the best to you my man🧡 Hope you cope better with it every day and that medicine will one day be able to restore your sight. It helps me personally to get through life when I think about how over people have it just as bad or even worst but are still able to live a good life. Much love and a good week to ya

Hey bro I'm going blind :(

You guys get it. As a legally blind guy I can relate so much.

My right eye is 20/60 and my left eye is 20/20

👏👏👏

I’am 57 and have had Optic Atrophy since birth, my vision is 20/400 in both eyes as well. My take on my situation is to just make the best of it, but it does suck.

I am legally blind but I did not make excuses for my situation. I worked in retail for years and dealt with discrimination but now because I built years of work experience under my belt I am going to work at a Base Supply Center as a Coordinator for LC Industries (A company that hires people who are legally blind). LC Industries is helping me relocate and the pay is really good. The opportunities exist so, there is no reason to stay unemployed. www.lcindustries.com/careers/

Legally blind means your best eye is 20/200 or worse with prescription glasses on

Thanks for doing this vid. I also have 20/400 vision. Trying to explain to people what I can see and the clarity which I have has sometimes been difficult to explain. This video captures what I can see in such a good way. Have sent this to family and friends so they also know. Thanks for this. Much appreciated.

Nice channel. Keep up the great work! I think you should search for SMZeus . c o m!! It’s the fastest way to grow your KZbin channel!!

Why don’t you to become roommates and move to the city? I am blind myself and I do not know any blind people at all, the only people that I know that are so cited cannot understand what I go through on a daily basis and right now I am trying to find myself a place to live and I do live in the city and it is hard for a blind person to find a place by their self. But U2 have each other you can become roommates.

Cool video. My vision is 20/400 as well. Only in my left eye. I see nothing from the right.

Loving your videos man. Keep your head up. I have a UTV also and am legally blind as well. I have to be careful but I do ride it here and there. Super happy to be here with you and both having retinitis pigmentosa it is awesome to see another person staying strong and moving forward. Keep your head up my friend. You got this!

Thank you for sharing your story. I also have retinitis pigmentosa. I subscribed to your channel and happy to watch your journey! Best wishes my friend
