Daniel,

A friend of mine sent me a "picture" about a year ago resembling what he 
"sees" with his particular diatetic retinopathy infirmity, it was a picture 
doted with all kinds of black splotches and opaque splotches carving out 
particular parts of an otherwise wide view. I've also seen other "pictures" 
where views had lurred-out areas that make the whole picture almost 
unviewable. So I can imagine any number of variables of how people might 
have vision and yet not see. It certainly is a reminder to me, just as your 
posts are, how challenging the low-vision arena really is, how we can't take 
for granted what we have, and how we have to understand others' challenges 
that might be much greater than our own. At least you have a very good grasp 
of what you can and can't see. Many "sighted" people simply can't figure out 
what their sight problems are and/or don't pay attention to what they see 
let alone find ways to cope with it, so at least you are doing all you can 
with what you have.

Bill
