I would really like to talk about how the current lockdown has affected my visual impairment.
-
My visual impairment has affected me to be friends with other people and I want to be able to improve this in the future.
I have been bullied before due to the fact I have got a visual impairment such as it is a sensory condition instead of a medical condition that affects only 5 percent of my vision. Nystagmus does affect 1- in 5 people worldwide. -
Hi and welcome
Feel free to join in or ask any questions and talk about your concerns with your vision
We do have a visual impaired section on here
I am too visually impaired and had to have emergency treatment in lockdown and still having monthly treatment now
-
Feeling like others would not understand us all. Or be friends with me or others with special needs.
-
and others doing cyber bullying affects us all.
-
If I can do open up about my visual impairments then I do think others should do too.
