You think you know what blindness is? Think again. For 16 episodes, I've shared my story of total blindness, but now I'm flipping the script to expose the vast spectrum of sight loss. This week, we kick off a crucial 4-part miniseries by diving into Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) , the condition that steals your central vision. What does it feel like to see everything around a face but lose the detail right in the middle? I break down the science, the social awkwardness of having to look past someone, and reveal the surprising truth: why the majority of people who are legally blind still have residual light and shadow perception. This series starts now #theworldasiseeit #blindnessawareness !
