Just stumbled into this, and dude seriously! You have balls, I bow before you! Don't EVER let any bashers or yt trolls make you feel uncomfortable, you are way more and will achieve way more than any of their kind. Thank you and good luck with your teaching plans.
A friend i chat to on a forum uses Jaws, and so i looked it up and came across your channel. I just want to say thanks for posting all these videos, it allows me to understand a little bit more of what things are like for her being vision impaired. Good on you for putting yourself out there. Im sure you have helped a lot of people. :)
Man that sucks. I couldnt Imagine having my vision gone like that. Your a brave man and a very strong one. I dont think I could live like that yet you do and you were brave enough to take off your glasses and show us how bad your vision really was. Youve got my support man.
Everyone should respect you and everybody who have the courage of dealing with life like you do. I cannot comprehend those people that have a normal life and think that everything happens to them....they're weak and mentally challenged and some call that egocentrism...that's right...but stupidity too. Man, what you do is important to many people and is well done indeed. Keep going. About the videos with selfdescription...they are lessons of life, keep going too. Respect from Portugal!
i just stumbled on this video by mistake and really found it quit moveing. i respect u for doing this video and anyone that dosent is a fool. i think in life u are delt a hand and u just have to make the best of it and it looks like your doing just that keep it up man!!!!
Good video! I agree it is no picnic to have a bad vision. When I was 3-4 years old I had to go thrue surgery on both my eyes because I had glaucoma and since then I have been wearing glasses, 22 years now. Its not easy not to have a good vision and I often tell people that your vision is the most precious thing you have.
Hi there, Firsly your video regarding the gameboy advance made me think about buying one. Secondly, I think you are awesome and inspirational. Keep up making awesome videos and doing what you love! As maltese says, we are all disabled and for this we should try to be grateful after all it gives us challenges in life. Perfection is boring. Love, Pete
Sometimes people are just jerks. You handled it very well. I ran across your vids today, because I was trying to learn more about Linux. You share a lot of good info. Thanks.
Interesting video. Thanks for sharing. It gives people a better idea of low vision in action. Takes a lot to post such a personal insight. No pun intended. Never mind the haterz, they are just masking their own insecurities.
Whoever makes fun of you for having a bad eye sight isn't aware of their own problems. In fact, you probably utilize your other senses in a much better way than a regular person which is another thing that people aren't aware of. I really enjoyed your Mac Vs PC: Accessibility video and I thought it had a lot of important points in it that we probably won't be able to find out unless we were in your shoes. Keep up the video posting, I like your stuff man.
man you are such a bright and noble person! keep up posting, I also have a 280 UX Vaio, I got it for my work, but because battery short life didn't really used, I´ll give it to my son, put some emulators and roms on it so he can use it as a PSP; bye for now, all the best!
I'll be honest the first vid I saw you in had me thinking those glasses were fake. It wasn't until you actually took them off and I could see your eye, that I realized you were for real. Man, I commend you for your courage to face those that make fun of you on here and actually share something in your life you may feel uncomfortable with. God Bless you man, I wish the best for you. Stay strong.
I watched your video about CDMA and GSM. You have enlightened me so much my friend. Cool videos you have. Can you give me a link that shows the CDMA Call Flow. I mean I am looking for a graph like it shows the flow of the signal between cell phone and the BTS. By the way we would like to listen your knowledge about the Brew.
Hey man do what you have to do to be you and to get by in life. it seems as tho you are doing just that. how rude can people be by making fun of someone with bad eye sight or something else wrong with them. they have not a clue what its like to have something like that wrong with them. i say keep up the great job your doing and screw the haters. you have way more guts to do what you do on youtube, and do it well. I commend you.
I have respect for this guy right here.. I bet he has bigger balls then all these people just talking crap on him.. None of those fools wouldve done this vid.. Keep up the good work!! Good luck!! Don't listen to haterz
people may say; i feel sorry for you, amigo... and i say; i feel great for you, amigo!!! keep it up... more power to you... and be blessed everyday... great job for your informative video...
forget about the bashers! they do not have anything good to say anyways. keep making videos. they are very helpful and informative. you are nice and smart person. most of us care less of your appearance because beauty is from the inside.
Born of premature birth - right eye didn'tm ake it . We had an experimental surgery to save the left. When we found out hte left was good, the right had detached.
I can relate to you my friend. The biggest problem I have with my glasses...although when I wear them, I am no longer legally blind during the day...is the horrible weight. However, I recently got a new pair without bifocals and the weight has been cut in half. I liked this video a lot, you're just like me lol.
@amaz789 Thanks. :) Hey what do u think of the sudden button rearrangement? I'm so used to going to the top right of the comment to access my controls, and now they're in links. This is gonna take some adjusting to.
@laurencefrazer No, because what had happened was too much windy & dusty air (waiting for the bus) caused all the moisture to come right out of the lens - and I have CP so I can't effectively remove it on my own...yea.
@rml695 I’m glad to hear you have vision not too bad with glasses, though 20/70 must still limit things a bit. No, my partner isn’t a Braille reader, as the correction is good with glasses, it would just be a problem in the case of mishap of losing glasses due to breakage whilst out doors, I just hope I would be there if this ever should happen.
@WarriorsNumber30 Totally sucks to not see 3-D. I have ambliopia (right eye has very very poor vision), so I can't see 3-D movies. I wonder what they are like though.
Dude you seriously don't look like someone with an eye problem. It took me about 30 seconds of staring to see the problem....NO KIDDING! But hopefully something can help If there is nothing right now. Keep making videos! And god bless!
@OmuniOnline Now why on earth is the last message blank? :( Anyway, I was born blind, and had cryo surgery to correct it. What I can see in my left eye is pretty good for osomeoen who's visually impaired. Out of all my friends who are blind, I have the best vision in the group.
@jjovereats Your vision isn`t that bad. You can probably pass the eye exam when going for your learners. My vision, however, is 20/200 (6/60). Taking the exam myself, i couldn`t see any of the words, but i can still function normally without my glasses. I actually never really noticed how blurry things were until i got my glasses, sometime in late june or so.
Thanks, you just answered many the questions I have had in my mind since I got glasses about 7 months ago. I have very small (-1.5 and -0.75) nearsight what happened in one day with eye pain. I did not need glasses before that at all. And I have been wondering what range you actually can have glasses. I know one person who has -9.5 and she has very limited sight. I have never understanded what is so funny about people who needs glasses.
not nice ppl. stop laughing/commenting about his glasses. He had a brilliant mind behind any look. I can only hear his voice cause "i don't need glasses", but i feel a "good man" talking in my dark world.
Is there a way that maybe you could do some type of surgery on your right eye to make it like your left eye while not hurting your left eye in the process? Or is it impossible knowing your right eye is completely blind?
My vision was corrected through cryo surgery - I was born blind. When we found out the left eye was a success, since I was a guinea pig for this, the right eye's retina had already detached, and once that's gone you can't put it back.
I don't remember if I responded to this, and if not I apologize for the long wait. My condition is so fragile that an operation would be too dangerous. We save them for absolute need (in other words, if we don't do it I"ll lose my vision type of thing). It was surgery that corrected my eyes to the way they are today, and the condition is fragile.
@rml695 no idea why its blank lol and well that is really unfortunate and am sorry to hear that however i think it is great u do these videos and are open to show ur blind eye and not ashamed :) keep up the great vids!
heh. you can do better than me. :). I try to get that close and I can't see at all. I am still learning my mac here (I have a desktop and powerbook models handy here. mac = PWNED! btw, is your eye problem related to focal issues?
@Pullisto With my glasses I can see pretty well at around 20/60 or 20/70. Although that wasn't always the case. In regards to your partner are they a Braille reader?
@rml695 Ow. I have known only one other who was born premee and he was totally blind before his 2nd month of life. he lives in kansas now and does web design. I need to figure out how to use my vidcam here (its a sony DCR-HC52) and make a video or 2 of myself for my page. My problem involves the retinas and complications from an accident. I also have to wear sclerals when going outside (light hurts too much). anyway, glad to make your acquaintance.
I seen your video, and I feel nothing than inspired by you, giving the best of yourself always and feel sure that people see your videos for your valuable information and comentaries. Always will be an idiot that don't deserve what the Lord give to him. I don't feel sorry for you, like I said before I feel inspired.
@rml695 its not a big unit. its bigger than palm size and weighs about 1 kilo. I was walking around the grand canyon with it last week. you should have heard all the comments about the blind guy using the camera. :) I even had one person come up and ask if i was really blind. one look at my scleral shells (and my finger moving them around) and he shut up and went away. :)
My partner is eyesight minus 6 in both eyes and without glasses holds the large font mobile phone just 2 cam from eye... I think thats about 20/650 vision. For me as a partner wioth 20/20 it's upsetting to see this struggle, and I feel very deeply for anyone who has to totally rely on glasses. My partner is basically blind without glasses on and wouldnt really be able to walk down the street.
I have around -8.5 diopters on both eyes. I know it's not as extreme as you but I still cannot read without glasses with both eyes. Anyway, I cannot do a lot without my glasses or contact lenses!
Hi, I stepped upon your videos when I was browsing on RUclips and saw your face in the related videos section. My friend looks very similar to you and has the same type of vision. You look so similar, one might think you're identical twins. My eye sight isn't that good either which is why I sympathise with you. Having bad vision is not nice nor funny. It is a problem that people literally suffer from and should not be something to make fun of. Instead, be happy that your vision is ok.
@43eyes If I'm reading this anime interpretation correctly, you are shocked. Why is that? My vision is such that I need the glasses, or I can't see, period.
Eu sou um estudante a tempo completo e eu era nascido com meu problema da visão. Eu espero que eu escolhi a língua direita, se não, me deixe por favor saber. Eu sou consideravelmente certo nós comuniquei-me antes.
@43eyes Many people don't care for those of us who have disabilities. Why? We're different. People don't like different. This is bad. We should embrace our differences, and one another, rather than reject them.
My regular niece said she's got to wait 2 years on her glasses but by then she prob have wait another two years on eye exam think it's the corinia virus stuff and insurers circle minators mazes .
David Oliveros I'm afraid not. The best we could do is 20/70 and that is after a cataract surgery I had last year on my left eye. My right eye is already gone.
Hi I am legally blind, my retinas were detached and left total blind in one eye and legally blind in the other. and I know how hard it is having to use glasses. good luck
i had a friend thats eyes were like that, people were assholes to him just because of his large lenses. So i know some optometry terms since being a glasses wearer as well. it would be great if you could tell the actual condition your eyes are in!
I have major respect for you. You're one of me heroes.
You are are an inspiration. You kick ass. Your friends and family must be honored to have you in their lives. Bravo!
Just stumbled into this, and dude seriously! You have balls, I bow before you! Don't EVER let any bashers or yt trolls make you feel uncomfortable, you are way more and will achieve way more than any of their kind.
Thank you and good luck with your teaching plans.

Its not easy not to have a good vision and I often tell people that your vision is the most precious thing you have.
I hope you achieve your goals in life and overcome your handicap. Respect for appearing on cam and not acting on the feelings you surely have.
I tip my hat to you sir, you are an inspiration, don't listen to any of the "bashers" because im sure none of them are as successful as you.

@obichika I do leave my room for various activities. Though when it comes to going out, depending on someen else for transport can be a drag.
I watched your video about CDMA and GSM. You have enlightened me so much my friend. Cool videos you have. Can you give me a link that shows the CDMA Call Flow. I mean I am looking for a graph like it shows the flow of the signal between cell phone and the BTS. By the way we would like to listen your knowledge about the Brew.

Respect. Makes me feel bad to have perfect vision. Good on you man.
thats life man, massive respect. u look str8. ignore them ignorant people themselves
Man, that's so unfortunate! I have problems with my eyes as well, but not this bad. Take care dude

Are you referring to glasses power or my acuity? I have no idea what my power is. For acuity, my left eye is 20/80 and my right is the non-seeing eye.
Contacts helped to cause the problem - see "My Experience when I was Blind" and I also think you should look at "New Glasses."
not nice ppl. stop laughing/commenting about his glasses. He had a brilliant mind behind any look. I can only hear his voice cause "i don't need glasses", but i feel a "good man" talking in my dark world.
I'm glad you take it back and I accepty our apology. Try to put yourself in my shoes. That goes for anyone reading this response.
great confidence !
@N0tCr4zy Question is whether they are available in my prescription.
@PredictedTV I was born blind. Surgery helped to get my sight back, but by the time they found out it worked, it was too late for my right eye.
I'm about to put up a video on how to install apps using the Konsole under OpenSUSE with the "zypper" command suite.
Is there a way that maybe you could do some type of surgery on your right eye to make it like your left eye while not hurting your left eye in the process? Or is it impossible knowing your right eye is completely blind?
I like your videos. I just subscibed. Keep them coming!
I used a few of your great reviews!, Keep up the good vids.
Due to retinal detachment, there is NO visual perception in my right eye. No light perception, either.
My vision was corrected through cryo surgery - I was born blind. When we found out the left eye was a success, since I was a guinea pig for this, the right eye's retina had already detached, and once that's gone you can't put it back.
@VisionlessOne Same. :) Incidentally, I haven't seen your camera, so I wouldn't know how to help.
It's possible I did it already in the video "My Experience when I was Blind" but double check.
Already tried them. Caused more problems. The video "my experience when I was blind" explains everything.
He suggested that I have a video like this. I don't remember what his exact words are, or on what v ideo he made the suggestion.
@lida4365 You're welcome - and thank you for the compliment. :)
@nick41324 Note when the video was posted. As of this year? It's 20/70.
much respect man! your fighting a disability and you are still appearing on camera.
I don't remember if I responded to this, and if not I apologize for the long wait. My condition is so fragile that an operation would be too dangerous. We save them for absolute need (in other words, if we don't do it I"ll lose my vision type of thing). It was surgery that corrected my eyes to the way they are today, and the condition is fragile.

@rml695 Will do! And thanks for your humbleness! Something very rare to find on the internet these days...
you look really cute...thank you for the vids..and transition lens are awesome!
@rml695 Ow. I have known only one other who was born premee and he was totally blind before his 2nd month of life. he lives in kansas now and does web design.
I need to figure out how to use my vidcam here (its a sony DCR-HC52) and make a video or 2 of myself for my page.
My problem involves the retinas and complications from an accident. I also have to wear sclerals when going outside (light hurts too much). anyway, glad to make your acquaintance.
If you don't mind my asking, what is the prescription of your glasses?
I seen your video, and I feel nothing than inspired by you, giving the best of yourself always and feel sure that people see your videos for your valuable information and comentaries.
Always will be an idiot that don't deserve what the Lord give to him.
I don't feel sorry for you, like I said before I feel inspired.
@johnkx I am completely blind in my right eey. I don't even have light perception.
@rml695 its not a big unit. its bigger than palm size and weighs about 1 kilo.

@txiki731 Not sure except it's the most powerful you can get.
Usually about 8 or so (with breaks of course).
I have around -8.5 diopters on both eyes. I know it's not as extreme as you but I still cannot read without glasses with both eyes. Anyway, I cannot do a lot without my glasses or contact lenses!

ROP - my right eye went b4 we had the opportunity to do the operation when i was not even a year old.
hows you're long distance vision? Thats why i wear glasses cant see past my hand but like a hawk close up. You?
@43eyes If I'm reading this anime interpretation correctly, you are shocked. Why is that? My vision is such that I need the glasses, or I can't see, period.
Eu sou um estudante a tempo completo e eu era nascido com meu problema da visão. Eu espero que eu escolhi a língua direita, se não, me deixe por favor saber. Eu sou consideravelmente certo nós comuniquei-me antes.
Just came across your channel, i'm subscribing, i found ur linux video really interesting and very true what you said.
@ThePremadeNoodles As of late I had a vid up regarding Linux.
@43eyes Many people don't care for those of us who have disabilities. Why? We're different. People don't like different. This is bad. We should embrace our differences, and one another, rather than reject them.
@purrinkitten I like both LInux & Mac.
what happened with your right eye ? what's the source of blindness ?
you are the man, dude.
@fallenangel006 It is entirely blind - I don't even have light perception. I had R O P - retinopopthy of prematurity.
i respect you
@alhew84 Mostly just screen magnification on my computer.
No, it is natural blindness due to retinal detachment shortly after birth.
your awesome man screw people there are always people who just are bad people in general
@jjovereats You don't have to feel sorry for me, I mean I run a normal day to day life just like anyone else. :)
My regular niece said she's got to wait 2 years on her glasses but by then she prob have wait another two years on eye exam think it's the corinia virus stuff and insurers circle minators mazes .
We tried that and it didn't work out so well. :(
cool video how did it happen
Lenses?
@MrNukesftw If you see my video on my experience when I was blind, you will see that contacts are part of what lead to that mess.
Hello,
I was just wondering, is your left eye correctable to 20/20?
David Oliveros I'm afraid not. The best we could do is 20/70 and that is after a cataract surgery I had last year on my left eye. My right eye is already gone.
Whats ur vision! I got 20/20 :D and I like that tiny little picture u have in the back
@MrBranzor
totally agree!!!
Hi I am legally blind, my retinas were detached and left
total blind in one eye and legally blind in the other. and I know how hard it is
having to use glasses. good luck
i had a friend thats eyes were like that, people were assholes to him just because of his large lenses. So i know some optometry terms since being a glasses wearer as well. it would be great if you could tell the actual condition your eyes are in!
THANKYEE. :) Have you subscribed? I don't remember.
