My experience whilst nowhere near to those standards yet…

I’m OK in shops. It still makes you anxious as I have to look at things longer than some people. The blind spot is a problem for not being near others. Within the 2 meter social distancing rule went still have at the moment.

You are really aware of a queue outside.

But if you have nobody to help, or are very limited in your vision thus must be a nightmare to work around

Through a campaign started by several sight loss charities, there are now delivery slots online made free for people who cannot navigate themselves around a supermarket or find themselves with extra pressure and anxiety to shop quickly and safely which won’t be possible.

In my view this should have been implemented from the start.

I hope it will now take any anxiety or stress away for those who are blind or with very limited vision to become able to buy themselves the items they need to make life easier for them.

It is a brutally honest depiction of what we are facing.

Whether you have macular degeneration due to old age or like me an inherited condition you have had since birth. When that shows itself is individual to the person. Some children, or like me late onset in my 40s.

We need a cure or the very least treatment for genetic macular Dystrophies.
