Stargardt Disease. The most common out of the Macular Dystrophy spectrum of conditions. Because of this, It’s most likely I have this problem.
I haven’t been genetically tested yet for which gene is causing my eyesight loss.
They know it’s Macular Dystrophy, but is yet unclear what sort.
This is a depiction of how the brothers see. Some people have grey/black blobs masking their vision, blind spots and floaters.

Sometimes you may see me tilting the phone or whatever I’m looking at. This is because of the tiny blind spots.
This is called eccentric viewing which came naturally to me early on.
You can have lessons in this from the low vision clinic or the Macular Society offer it too.
The eyes try to fill the blind spots so words or pictures are sometimes hard to make out or become the wrong word or image, with interesting results now and again.
I’ve wrote about this. If you go to my websites search box on desktop, you can search for anything you like including eccentric viewing.
