You exemplify excellence in every aspect, serving as an awe-inspiring role model for us all. Your genuine compassion and unwavering dedication make you a beacon of goodness in this world. I feel incredibly fortunate to have crossed paths with someone as remarkable as you. You truly are one of the finest individuals I've ever had the privilege to know. With utmost respect and admiration, I tip my hat to you, recognizing your legendary status as truly untouchable.

thank you for sharing your journey Rob. I've now shared your video in the hope that my family/friends can find some understanding about how I see. I'm 62, but like you I only have central vision, I lost my husband in September suddenly 2023 and along went my 'secruity' with life.... changes had to be made as I also have the care of our 4 year old grandson.... so now our wheels are a mobility scooter to get us around, yes asking for help is a huge thing.... also working on this.. I wish you the the best and look forward to seeing more of your videos

Firstly Carol, I’m sorry about your husband. Secondly, thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience. That certainly sounds tough emotionally and physically. I hope my story somehow lands with your family and really helps them be understanding of what you’re going through. I hope my future videos will continue to be useful. R ❤️

I have RP also. I really suggest a blind school where you can learn cane travel and useful info. Your cane is a tool, learn to use it. I moved to Denver, Colorado, got my medical marijuana card, and have been doing great. My floaters went away completely, no more headaches, eye strain is reduced. I'm at about 10-15 degrees for 12+ years now. I feel great and my doctors are very happy with where I am. Good luck with your adventure! I wish you well.

Jason thank you for all that info. Did the marijuana help rid the floaters or something else? I am due to start my long cane training later this year ❤️

@@BlindFocusRS Yes, medical grade marijuana helped. My doctor said smoking it lets the eyes get a better dose. I take Diamox for edema, 125g twice daily. I also take Vitamin D twice daily, 4000IU. Having both my cataracts removed in 2010 helped a lot too. I went through bling school for 9 months in 2008-9. I learned Braille, but haven't used it, sense my central vision is so good. Cane travel, computer, and even shop class, helped me learn a lot. Knowledge you can pull out of your mental filing cabinet, if it comes up. Thanks!

I’m 5 min in and Im breaking down in tears because I understand completely what your going through and grinding up and his oriole are like oh I can’t see at night either I’m like no like I’m blind already no center vision in right and my peripheral is off in left I have only center in left of vision and some side vision aside the blind line in my right. I totally get you… with glasses. Not wanting to wear them because I was so used to not having them when young and growing up… I am unable to drive because things move too fast and even when I walk non moving things appear out of nowhere or people. I can see the best out of this and life but don’t get me wrong, I have my break downs and that’s okay !!!

I can relate to this video with also having RP diagnosed aged 28 now 33 and finding things extremely hard and embarrassing at times, it's hard when you say about trying to hide our disability and not ask for help. Iv subscribed to your channel and will be sure to catch up and watch any future videos

Loved your story of overcoming my friend! It's very inspiring and gives us strength to keep fighting, especially for people like our singer and guitarist, Rudolph who also suffers from retinitis pigmentosa. We are on this same road together!
