We conclude our miniseries by tackling Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP). This is the specific vision loss that I, your host, have. This condition affects infants born prematurely, where abnormal blood vessel growth can lead to retinal detachment. I discuss the unique challenges of having vision loss that is present from birth, the specific experience of detachment, and how ROP impacts the development of early mobility and spatial awareness from the very beginning.

In part three of our series, we focus on the genetic condition, Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP). I discuss two primary characteristics: night blindness (the loss of sight in low light) and progressive tunnel vision (the gradual closing in of your visual field). How does a progressive genetic condition change your relationship with darkness and planning for the future? This episode provides a candid look at living with RP.

This episode continues our miniseries on the spectrum of sight loss by focusing on Glaucoma. Known as the "silent thief of sight," this condition often attacks your peripheral vision. I explain how fluid pressure damages the optic nerve and what it feels like to live in a shrinking world where the edges of your vision constantly narrow. We discuss why early detection is vital and the impact of tunnel vision on daily independence.

You think you know what blindness is? Think again. For 16 episodes, I've shared my story of total blindness, but now I'm flipping the script to expose the vast spectrum of sight loss. This week, we kick off a crucial 4-part miniseries by diving into Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) , the condition that steals your central vision. What does it feel like to see everything around a face but lose the detail right in the middle? I break down the science, the social awkwardness of having to look past someone, and reveal the surprising truth: why the majority of people who are legally blind still have residual light and shadow perception. This series starts now #theworldasiseeit #blindnessawareness !

Have you ever wondered how a completely blind person truly "watches" a movie or "reads" the atmosphere of a room? In this episode, I explain my "Rulebook for Words"—why I use visual language just as much as anyone else, and how that language is actually a bridge to shared human experience. I dive into the technology that lets me fully "watch" a movie (Audio Description), how I use tone and sound to "read the room" and process social cues, and the non-visual meaning behind phrases like "I saw that coming." My goal is to show you that these words are about understanding, not sight.
