SIX blind people describe what they see!

[@SnghoHan]

Yeah, blindness can be in such a lot of shapes and severities. I have 80 percent less visual nerves than most people, and I can still see most things except small text and street signs. I can walk normally too, which caused me to have an identiy crisis at one point. I felt like I could not be categorized as blind, because a stereotypical blind person has no idea what light is, an nor I could be normal, because I have a hard time recognizing faces as well.

[@theatre.swiftie22]

Sorry they assume that.

[@serena8772]

I know the feeling… I have papilledema, especially in my right eye my optic nerve is really damaged… feel kind in the middle like you not enough to be categorised blind but not enough normal too …

[@maxadamdor]

[@maxadamdor]

@Jane Lee no?

[@ZT1ST]

Wait, as in you have 80% of the same visual nerves as most people, or you're down to 20% of the same visual nerves as most people? Because the latter makes me think you're a superhuman if you're able to still see most things. Either that, or we really don't use 80% of our visual nerves all the time...which isn't unheard of, so...I guess that explains it?

[@JohnGalt916]

I low-key hate how much I don't know. these kiddos are explaining their issues and I'm like "I just thought it was blackness".

[@AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Yes. Some blind people still have some vision, some can only see white lights, some can only see blurry colors, some have black dots or tunnel vision. The general definition of blindness is that it is non-correctable with glasses. But also visual distortions that interfere with normal tasks.

[@LeeDee5]

You’re not blind, so it’s not your fault that you don’t know.

[@ferninthehouse]

Yeah most blind people have at least some level of light perception in their eyes but not all. Some can see but it’s just very blurry and not really enough to process most of their surroundings. Some may have small slivers of clearer vision. Being blind mainly just means your vision is impaired enough to where glasses can’t fix your vision and you need aids to some extent

[@A_Wee_spook]

I'm blind with some light and color perception. I for me see smudges of color behind tv static. It's like I'm trying to look past the static to see the world beyond it, but as time goes on, the TV static gets thicher and thicker.

Being blind must be super hard :( You can't see colors and people's faces, or you can't see the world and some of it's amazing places. You guys are so strong and you proven that you can still live a good life even if you are blind. Love you guys💓

[@travislitehiser]

Yes being blind is hard for a lot of people especially when it first happens it takes a long time to get adjusted some people adjust quickly while others don’t in my case I’m not blind but I am legally blind and visually impaired due to retinopathy of prematurity it has its good days and bad days but I constantly go to bed every night worrying if I’m going wake up the next morning and not be able to see I will give you an example I dozed off one time for about an hour I woke up I swear I couldn’t see anything other than a whitish gray fog I was panicked and scared but it finally cleared up I was probably just dreaming but still but anyway lots of visually impaired and blind people go on to live wonderful lives and I have met some truly remarkable and amazing people in the blind community and some of the things that they do is just absolutely incredible

Sounds like she may be a good candidate for learning the clicker to help her get around. Knew a man that used it who was born without eyes. He said due to this his brain is heavily adapted to noticing subtleties in sound. He used a metronome watch walking around. A keychain with a click device when he was being more specific with his movement. Fun, interesting guy, a bit odd or unique. Very much a Savant type. Extremely good at some things while oblivious to others.

I have quite a bit of anxiety about telling people I’m blind because my blindness isn’t what they expect it to be and I don’t really look the part. Thanks so much for breaking down that barrier a bit Lucy!

[@happyhorse1028]

Hi. Hope you don’t mind me asking but when you dream, do you see things or are your dreams audio only?

[@sjbeard2941]

@happyhorse1028 so here's the thing. The majority (I mean the vast majority) of blind people don't experience a lack of visual stimulous. There are many forms of blindness. Maybe your visual experiences relate to the world around you but not enough for you to actually use them, or maybe you get some visual experience from things around you but there is too much interference like flashes or floaters, or maybe you only have only light perception, or your vision is all blurs or reflections upon reflections, or maybe your vision doesn't relate to the world around but your brain still gives you vivid phosperesence, or maybe your mind is constantly full of the remembered sights from before vision lost... There are so many ways to be blind that are not just darkness. And those sxperiences can pervaid the dreams of the blind just as much as they do everyone else. So the question almost doesn't make sense. My visual experience of dreaming is probably very different to yours but it is still a visual experience, so does that make my answer yes or no? I don't know!

[@happyhorse1028]

@@sjbeard2941 I think it makes your answer yes, even though the visuals in your dreams may be different to the images in the dreams seeing people have. Thank you for your answer. I found it very interesting and informative.

She only lost her vision when she was 17, and it’s natural to turn your head towards the one that’s speaking. Molly Burke does the same and she lost her vision at 14.

[@boogie_4203]

[@catinabox3048]

@@boogie_4203 I think it depends on the person. Some people care about etiquette for the sake of looking engaged and/or professional, and others only care for the practical aspect of it, which is that they can't see anyway. Lucy and Molly are public figures of sorts, and they don't stop looking around and turning their heads probably partly because they recognize that it can be a sign of professionalism, and partly because they simply think it's important to do so. Also, some blind people WANT to look more blind because they're tired of having their issues dismissed or discredited. Others want to look less blind because they want to dispel the idea that blind people have to LOOK blind.

It’s high blood sugar that damages the blood vessels in the retina. My friend did this to himself by eating bags of sweets and drinking tons of full fat cola.
