I was legally blind until I was 24. Wore bifocal contacts. Then I got lasix. Best thing ever. Before that, I used to memorize the colors of a room so that if something happened to my contacts or glasses I could get around. Now I just make sure I have good light. In a few years I'll need to get readers because of aging which no ones found a fix for lol.
