Because I'm just such a lucky guy .I've started to lose my vision at 40 years old to to a as yet undermined cause (waiting on various test results ) but essentially my optic nerves are inflamed/damaged and effecting my vision drastically.

Both eyes have lost a good chunk of their peripheral vision as well as a portion of the lower 1/4 field of view. Left eye central vision a portion is almost like it's covered in a layer or two of syran wrap.

I've had some feedback from someone who still ride and just pair vith a friend /friends , keep their head on a swivel , and ride slow and carefully but I thought I would expand that question to others.

Anyone have experience adjusting to a visual impairment and care to offer feedback or tips ?

CANADA ust curious for tips /tricks/advise ?

Without getting into the whole medical story ..as it's still ongoing (lumbar puncture literally yesterday ). Essentially I have optic neuritis /atrophy but they have not pinned down the cause.. I'm atypical of the usual suspects like MS/Mogad...but results of recent blood work /MRI /LP are pending.

I've lost much my perphial vision in both eyes and a lot of central vision in my left.

As long as I'm paying attention I can navigate the world but ..things on the lower half of vision might as well night exist. I'm careful and be sure to move in a way that works for me but ..it's stil tough .

I was given a symbol Cane to use in super crowded areas to let other folks know to give me a wide berth but I'm curious what other folks experiences are like.

Especially if you have found a way to comfortably jog /cycle ..even hiking feels like even more of a fhroe right now since Id basically have to have my head to the ground to avoid rocks /roots
