"I am not the problem. It's not my fault that I am blind. And life wouldn't necessarily be better if I was sighted. Life would be better if the world was made accessible. And that's what's important is that the world is not accessible, not that I am blind." This is such an important message, Molly. And, as a woman with a disability (born with spina bifida and hydrocephalus and a wheelchair user), I appreciate this message so much. Thank you for your videos.

[@BlindMelonLord]

Katie Schmidt Hey, another person with the same disease as me. I was born with hydrocephalus as well. I was born fully cited, and then they found out I had hydrocephalus, so they put a shunt in my head. Which in turn, the hydrocephalus damaged my optic nerve, so I have optic nerve atrophy. Thank God that’s the only thing wrong with me. i’ve learned to deal with it though. It’s the only life I’ve got, so why waste time complaining about it? You know what I mean? I do have my moments where I wish I could get my site back though somehow, but I know that will never happen. I mean, (and not to sound mean), but if you say that you don’t wish you had your site back, in my book, you’re lying. Everyone has that thought hidden in the back of their head at least, for a little while you know? I mean, I do. at the same time though, as I said before, I am glad to have the life I do. TLDR: Don’t waste your time complaining. It’s not worth it.

Google “healthy retina” or “normal retina” in images, and then “retinitis pigmentosa,” Molly’s condition. You’ll notice retinas look very pink, much like salmon, RP have grey, usually more in the outer areas. Molly’s have essentially no clear pink left, very grey throughout with a thin appearance. When she has said her RP is one of the more severe, she is not kidding. This is the first time she has posted photos afaik.

This is the argument many forget when they ask why there are parts of the deaf community against Cochlear implants.

I have the orbital type if anyone even knows what tumor I’m referring to. I finally upgrade to an adult doctor because my eye sight has been doing well and my tumor is benign. I’ve been going to the children’s hospital since I was a baby. My tumor goes into my cheek as well. I’ve never been able to talk about this part of me because I felt ashamed of it. I have a small eye and a normal size eye. I have visible tumor fat around my pupil. Over the last 2 years I’ve grown and been able to talk about this “unique” side of me. I essentially use one eye but I do have some vision in the tumor eye. The new doctor actually was impressed with my vision in that eye and told me it was because of the patches and follow doctors orders as a kid. So please if you’re dealing with patches don’t be stubborn! It makes a difference well in my case it did. I have to go to the doctor once a year to get checked because my vision changes yearly. It’s interesting reading about everybody else’s eye problems! I have yet to find someone with my tumor though! Maybe one day. I had my surgeries all at 2yrs old. I have a metal rod holding my eye lid up and had my tumor debulked from eye. I do still have flare ups but not as bad anymore! (Flare ups = eye bleeding into itself and/or swelling due to allergies, sickness or stress). I’m so glad I found Molly’s channel and thank you for showing your life to the world

When my sister was a kid, my parents and her were at lunch at long john silvers. They didnt know that she had touched some form of a hot pepper. She rubbed her eyes then started screaming. My dad figured out what had happened and snatched her and ran her into the bathroom and started rinsing her eyes and e everyone in LJS thought my dad was abusing her and called the cops 😂😂😂 I wasnt born yet but I totally would have loved to have seen that 😂😂😂 oh yeah.... you are so incredibly wise and your insight is so amazing!!!!

Wow, what you said about being sighted vs being blind in an inaccessible world is so profound! I have a chronic condition that I recently have been cured of. I feel really lucky b/c cures are just developing. But I was so desperate for a cure because I felt I couldn't survive in the world as it is with my condition! I'm only now realizing the bottom line cause for that feeling was inaccessibility to care I needed, to the world, and the life I wanted to live. Thank you for helping me realize that I'm not the problem.

[@benw9949]

I was born premature, and therefore legally blind. So I grew up with my condition being stable and I was used to it, as much as you can be. Of course, I was bullied at school but had friends too. I knew not to expect a "cure." But what I wasn't ready for was when my vision got worse around 40, and it's dropped since then. It really freaked me out, privately. I am still adjusting and trying to get through the bureaucratic process to get help, but man is it discouraging, and I am not putting in the effort on it I should be. No matter what I do, my vision won't improve to anything better than my previous level, and as time goes on, my chances get more risky. It is tough to deal with this as someone on his own without enough support. So I can understand how tough it feels and how it can be too tempting to not deal with it, to set it aside and only act on it in spurts. Anyone with low vision and vision loss can surely relate to the private worry / fear we feel, and to how much we react badly to negative things and problems, yet how much we also try to be independent and bluff our way through things. Hmm, and how often people don't get it, whether we present well or not. This tells me I need to get to work on things again and push through to get it done. Thank you, Molly, for sharing, so sighted people might know what it's like and so impaired / blind folks can feel empowered and know more too, and know they (we) are not alone in this stuff.

Watching this reminds me of an eye surgery I had when I was around 2. This is all according to my mom... I had a severe lazy eye and couldn't really see all that well out of it. Had surgery on it which involved them removing my eye OUT of the socket, doing something with the muscle and nerves and attaching a band to the back of my eye. I've had it on my eye for 35 years. I don't remember a thing about it, just when my aunt told me about it recently Also, the thing Molly said about being sensitive to light, I've noticed that my eyes have become more sensitive to it. I finally got transition lenses and they make being out in the sun much easier

[@TiaKatt]

My sister had that surgery, too, but a little bit older (almost 4). She was born on a US military base in Germany, and the docs where my parents were stationed refused to do it, always saying she was too young. Then when we got back to the US, our parents made an appointment for her first thing. The doctors here freaked out that it hadn't already been done, dismissed the "too young" argument as ridiculous and negligent on the part of the docs overseas, and apparently made some angry long-distance phonecalls. She was born with strabismus, which in her case was the cause of her amblyopia (amblyopia from other causes can also lead to some level of strabismus, too). By the time we got back to the US her eye was *very* badly misaligned so they did the surgery anyway and started her on a proper amblyopia treatment regimen, but were clear that her brain had already learned to almost completely dismiss info from the eye and that was not likely to change. The docs were really very angry about how long she went without the surgery for the strabismus, as if amblyopia due to strabismus is treated properly early enough (starting with, y'know, correcting the strabismus) vision may be spared. Over time her eye has continued to wander a bit, though it's never been as bad as before that surgery. She can detect light in her peripheral vision from that eye, but that's it, and it often just ends up causing her eye pain or a headache so she'll wear an eye patch when the light sensitivity is particularly bothersome.

I actually use to make cute patches. I’ve made several for friends and for a while I had an Etsy shop and sold them on there. I make them out of felt. The ones I made were for kiddos with glasses. They just slide onto the glasses and I would attach cute decorative patches (like the ones you could put on clothing that have designs like basketballs or ballerina slippers) that they could switch out. They just had Velcro on the backs. That way they could have several different cute designs. I sold them for $10 to $20 depending on the patches and sold additional patches for $3 to $5 and also recommended to the parents that they could go to a Joanne’s, Michaels or even a Walmart to buy more cute decorative patches to Velcro on the eye patch for more variety. You could make the same eye patch and attach elastic (like for a waist band) for kids that didn’t wear glasses I suppose.

I’m so glad you’re posting this video, and I’m so sorry I can’t watch the whole thing, I started crying 9min in because I guess I didn’t realize how emotional it is for me having something wrong with my eyes and not knowing what it is or why.. I’ll have to rewatch this video at a later point. I’ve had to use dilating eye drops every day, twice a day, for about three years, and that’s like the «solution» to my double vision, headaches and massive fatigue. I also had a little bit of vision decrease, but I’m lucky to still have vision (only nearsighted) and I guess I shouldn’t be complaining - I haven’t really been complaining too much I hope, but it’s still hard to deal with. I have never met anyone with the same disease or vision problems as me, and I haven’t been able to meet anyone that could relate to how it is to live with. I had to stop with the drops because of another problem, and seeing double intermittently when you’re not used to seeing double is very hard to live with because my eyes never really adjusts and I can’t grow accustomed to it.. Molly, thank you so much for posting videos, I first discovered your amazing snapchat-stories and I absolutely adore your styles and your hair. Having any sort of vision problems are less scary when you tell us how it is to live as a blind person.
