    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.

    This may be the very first step and I do think that me and you both could help others from not feeling that overwhelmed.
