Experiencing reduced sight means as many things to as many people as there are on the planet. However, the one thing it doesn’t have to mean is that your life is finished. It will certainly change; you will likely have to do some or many things differently from the way you’ve been used to, but you will still be able to:
- raise your family,
- hold down a job,
- run your household,
- manage your finances,
- care for yourself,
- pursue many hobbies,
- travel, both locally and internationally and
- anything else you may think of.
To do this you’ll need support from:
- family/whanau
- Friends
- Co-workers and bosses
- Medical and specialist service personnel.
You will also need a certain amount of assistive technology, and that’s where data Australasiacan help.
