"Vision is so important to life. We rely on it virtually all the time. We need it not just for basic functional tasks, like working or driving, but for socializing, relaxing, and enjoying life. Reducing vision reduces so much and can really suck the life out of you. So many enjoyable things turn into a struggle and become stressful rather than relaxing and re-energizing. Bad vision is 24/7 and it wears on you, beats you down, and you can't escape it. Maybe you can get used to it. But you can't get over it. You can't forget it. It's always there to remind you, make things difficult for you, and make beautiful things ugly, confusing, and stressful.”
