This video should be watched by a lot of non-blind people in order to reduce their held stereotypes (btw, the strategy you are using in this video is called 'dehomogenising the outgroup' in stigma reduction studies, and I am actually using this video as a case study in my teaching on disability and stigma reduction - get in touch if you want to know more about this 🙂)

For some products they are. Some do have better accessibility than others. One big thing that I think every piece of tech should have when accessible is to toggle it on during the setup process. I know some products do end up doing that, but when one needs sighted assistance to set up something that is supposed to be made accessible, then it’s not as accessible as it’s made to be.

I was 20/400 and now I am 20/200

Yes, cataracts are treatable now, but sometimes the recovery process can be lengthy, and some folks may not need to get them removed, or may just not want them removed. Everyone is going to have their own reason to get them or not get them removed. For me, I probably won’t get mine removed because I still have blurred and little to no detailed vision. It’ll just look less foggy and that’s about it.

I’m at the point where I’m working on composing music through braille and writing stories in braille. I love it!
