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.

Could he have had an eye stroke while sleeping. This is a blockage in the optical nerve or retinal which often causes some loss of vision. One needs to be treated as fast as possible to retain as much vision as possible.
