BLINDNESS IS A SPECTRUM

This website is a communication from the perspectives of people on the blindness spectrum to the rest of the world. It is hosted by me, Libby Thaw (libbythaw50@gmail.com)... Many of us have learned through experience that an awful lot of people are under the impression that there are only 2 eyesight statuses: blind and not blind. If you give them a minute to think about it however, they will say something like, "I have a friend who's pretty much blind without their glasses". This gives me a glimmer of hope. You see they already realize that some people who wear glasses have worse vision than others... That is not to say that there is no such thing as complete blindness. Some people lose all of their eyesight due to illness or injury. Some people are born with no eyesight. The general public can grasp that idea more easily it seems than the sizeable range in between no sight and full sight.
