    U should make a t shirt that’s says:
    I’m blind,
    I don’t always wear dark sunglasses
    I don’t want to feel your face
    I do my own makeup
    I can type myself
    ( insert other random stereotypes)
    I’m just as independent as you
    And I’ll ask if I need help

    I was born with a lazy eye with extremely weak vision. Crap vision in my left eye but correctable and legally blind in my right (as they called it) We called it my “bad eye” for years. I had to wear a patch as a baby/toddler to strengthen my bad which did help. I never went through with muscle surgery. Now my lazy eye is only slight and mostly noticeable from specific angles and flashes of light (like from cameras). The vision still sucks and I only wear prescription in my left eye because having a - and + lenses in each frame gave me headaches for years.
    Thanks for posting your story! Finally someone I can relate to with my eyes.

    I've been watching your videos for about two months now. I'm the same age and visually impaired. I have cone dystrophy. Meaning my cones in my eyes never fully developed. I'm very light sensitive and have to wear dark polarized sunglasses even on cloudy days. We are the same age and I can relate to so many things you talk about even though I have sight. I'm so glad I found your channel. You make me laugh and I'm glad someone the same age as me is out here that I can relate to. You're right, it gets lonely and frustrating. There's a good chance I will never drive even though I do have sight because of CD. Thanks sooo much for all the great videos. Ps, Gallop is very handsome, sometimes I wish I had less vision so I could qualify for a service dog! Hope you see this. Thanks for reading! And thanks for being a voice for VIP and blind people!

      My name is Jacqueline and I have to be honest being Visually Impaired isn’t everything it’s cracked up to be.
      My name is Jacqueline and I was born with a eye disease called Retinopathy Of Prematurity and later on I was diagnosed with Polyarticular Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis and Uveitis.
      I also have a long history of disabilities like Cerebral Palsy and shunts. I’ve also been through an Iritis because of Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis.
      Before you say but kids don’t get Arthritis, that statement is wrong.
      JRA can damage eyes and cause blindness.

    Hello Molly! My daughter was asking me alot of questions about blind people because she saw Braille on a toilet door. I'm glad your videos aren't inappropriate because she really wants to learn more.

      Is your daughter cited or blind?
      My name is Jacqueline and I am Visually Impaired. I honestly feel like the fact that so many more people are wanting to learn about how Visually Impaired people do daily things is awesome.

      @@jacquelinesmith-jackson2815 My daughter can see perfectly. Other than a little blurred vision and needing glasses. But it can be fixed by glasses. She is only 6 and she is so curious about everything around her. I honestly felt warm in my heart and soul that she is the kind of child that is like she is, instead of judging. The only thing that makes her uncomfortable is how blind people use technology because of the way it sounds she gets creeped by the robot voice.

    In terms of say hugs and shaking hands with someone whos blind what is the best thing to do...ask/say that you want to shake hands or hug when first meet? So many types of body language so difficult like I rely on body language as I have hearing impairment.

    Could I still do this tag even though I wear glasses? My prescription is -7 for both of my eyes and I wouldn't be able to walk around normally if I was not wearing my glasses and at nighttime without my glasses I see very little. But I'm not sure if this still counts?
    English is not my first language so I apologise if anything in my comment looks weird.
