Affected with "wet macular degeneration" (a form of blindness)
since 2004, I have to use any available electronic, optical and
computer devices to continue life and work almost "like before",
but I need a driver for my car and someone for anything that requires
better vision than mine....
I think you and I may have something to share that should emerge to join what we might know some time.
