was perplexed at what he might consider a life change you might need to make as a result of being partially blind but as i read through i realized that i dodged all of these issues by not being able to drive and playing no sports and not shooting any guns and not having to mix drinks. pretty charming to read although i guess it's a little bit older, made me wish i had a cool eye patch i could wear everywhere - probably would still not be able to pull it off in a dashing & roguish manner though. also was filled w jealousy at the fact that he knew so many half blind people personally but i gues my social circle just doesn't have enough middle aged white men yet

Easy read, with practical tips on how to cope with the loss of vision.
It is a bit outdated and I do wish there was a more contemporary guide.

The ocular and auditory connection was briefly mentioned and I wish a bit more science was covered BUT if you are looking for a guide on how to transition to life with one eye then this book is helpful (although this is information you could probably glean from research yourself, I appreciated that the book had all these tips consolidated).

I can’t believe how difficult it is to get this book/how expensive available copies are.
