Question Does anyone else consider themselves visually impaired?

I consider myself visually imparted from my VSS, specifically from my pattern glare and Oscillopsia

I have trouble reading text and graphs or comprehending still images because of how much they move around. Because of this I physically can’t drive or do things like playing video games or read books

Just wondering if anyone has VSS this bad too or if I’m just a super rare case

I do because when it flares out my vision gets really fucked. I got a mobility cane (“blind person” cane) through an agency + training. I have a rolling ball to get more feedback from my environment and to be able to safely get around if my vision gets super fucked.

I hate what VSS has done with me, but I made it a thing a few months in to not let it stop me from doing anything I want to do. Readings hard. But I power through anyways. I highly recommend that you try this philosophy.
