To understand the challenges of reading text, take a book or newspaper, place four layers of wax paper over the page, and try to decipher the
print. For a majority of our members, reading a newspaper was the first thing they had to give up.

"Sometimes you would sense contempt from others who would assert that you are trying to get attention/sympathy when wearing dark wrap
around glasses, trying to get close seating during presentations, when requesting larger computer
monitors, when dimming office lighting, or the like. It's amazing how many people believe that people are either totally blind, see perfectly, or could see perfectly, if only they would bother to get the right glasses." Paul.
“Whenever I look at stoplights, I see a fuzzy effect around them, like they are encased in a small amount of very wispy cotton candy. When I
look at other
lights (such as the lights on my Christmas tree), I see rays of light radiating out from the center, but not a foot long, more like a couple of inches. When I look at other lights, such as mercury vapor street lights, it appears as if I'm looking through Plexiglas that has been horizontally scratched by steel wool. I consider all of these special light effects as halos, just variations on a theme." Mike
