Legally Blind

Description

While I am not techincally legally blind, without my glasses, I meet the requirements of true legal blindness (20/200 vision with the best possible correction). My best vision is 20/200 in my left eye. I literally cannot see detail past a foot in front of my feet.

Everyday, I am still absolutely breathtaken by every single little detail that I had no clue I was missing before. To read the screen printing on my horse show rosettes from across the room, read titles on books, see each and every individual leaf on a tree... Like I said, I'm still blown away by EVERYTHING, and I've had my glasses for half a year now.

I've been toying with this idea for a little bit. Not a lot of people can truely understand what I mean when I cannot see anything without my glasses on. It's not that great, and some things could have been done better, but, whatever.

This is what I see...

If I didn't have my left eye, then I would see everything like it is on the left.
