Hello, It all depends on what you have to contribute to a group. If they find your conversations interesting, your vision impairment isn't really a barrier in socialising. If the interest don't match then you can't really blaime your vision impairment at all. We tend to corelate every negative/ positive happening in our life to our vision impairment which might sound flashy from a researcher's prospective but it isn't practical at all.
