Don’t sniff smelly shoes

PICTURE DESCRIPTION
Brown haired cartoon girl with green face and hands to her mouth looking ill, stood beside a photograph of blue trainers on a shelf.

When you can’t see fine  detail because your central vision is diminishing due to Macular Dystrophy, Stargardt’s Disease. You have to look very closely . Like nose to the object to try to make out what’s on there.

I’ve learnt my lesson in charity shops though this week.

Wanted to see if I could make out the logo on these blue trainers. I should have asked the person I was with.

Nose to object.

I can still smell them now.

Never again.

What has made you curl up and cringe because of sightloss?

It did make me laugh eventually.

Catching the bus, or a Lorry

This happened to me the other day. Getting ready to board the bus that I see with my blurred vision, but as it gets nearer I see that sometimes it’s really a car. Sometimes a lorry.

I can’t always trust my vision as it is now.

VIDEO DESCRIPTION Bus travels in the distance towards the bus stop with a dark haired woman waiting by the bus stop. The bus travels over the hills and comes nearer to the lady. As it does it turns into a lorry. She turns around shocked.
