Memoirs of a Blindman David Wade

It was eighteen months into my marriage when my sight began to deteriorate.

Following eye tests, beginning with optometrist to ophthalmologist over a two-year period, I was finally diagnosed with Stargardt's, a rare eye condition with no cure or treatment.

Basically, the disease effects fipe detail vision from the back of the retina. As glasses don't help, life started to slide into a world of doom and gloom, persecution, ridicule and scrutiny. But regardless of life getting hard there is always somebody worse off.
