Low Vision Blog
I mentioned before that I had to quit playing World of Warcraft because my eye condition called Keratoconus. I’ve had it for more than 5 years already but I wore special lenses back then. Ever since my opthalmologist prdered me to stop wearing them I’ve been living in a blur but thankfully I can see well enough (actually… just barely) to use to PC to write stuff. i have to stick my face closer to the monitor than I normally should but it’s the only way I can get to see what I’m reading and writing.
Since I already write for b5media’s NBA Obsessed, I’ve been thinking that I could probably write a blog all about low vision written from the perspective of someone actually experiencing it, living the low vision life. That way it’s more personal and while I also have to write about the science news and technology about low vision (which includes other low vision conditions like cataracts and stuff), I also get to write about my experiences.
It’s probably not going to be up for a few more weeks but that’s the plan.

My brother in law had a corneal transplant. Will you be facing that?

At first I thought I’d eventually need one until I met my current eye doctor. She said she’s has treated other patients who’s had worse conditions than I have (even almost totally blind people) without corneal transplant. I just need to be patient and wait for my corneas to naturally heal themselves.
I’m currently noticing a slow but steady improvement in my vision and hopefully I’ll be able to see well enough with the aid of glasses in a matter of months.
