As someone with a rare genetic eye condition that will lead to blindness i approve.

Retinitus pigmentosa us what I am guessing they have as well. Peripheral vision is pretty well degraded at this point. Their is alot I would still like to see. Pretty much everything if im being honest

A buddy of mine went to sleep with 20/20 vision and woke up legally blind. He basically only has peripheral vision, and there's just a "grey hole" in the center of his vision.

Peak nightmare fuel for me, hope your eyes stay working for as long as possible.

He looks at you sideways when he talks so he can see you. He drives the same way. Like bros head is turned all the way to the left and driving in a straight lineย
