How I See With Stargardt’s Disease

<p>I have a rare genetic eye disease called Stargardt&rsquo;s Disease which has damaged my retina to the point where my visual acuity is poor enough that I am now legally blind. Many people upon learning that you&rsquo;re legally blind assume that you are not able to see at all, which is far from the case for me. While my central vision is poor, I still retain my peripheral vision.</p> <p>The definition of legally blind means that your vision is 20/200 or less in your better eye or your field of vision is less than 20 degrees. What this means in practical terms is that I can&rsquo;t read even the top line of an eye chart. I can see that there&rsquo;s an eye chart in front of me, but I just can&rsquo;t read it.</p> <p><a href="https://llazare.medium.com/how-i-see-with-stargardts-disease-31679f36a3f7"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
