Bionic eye implant world first

[QuarkDriven]

It's a start.

Losing my eyesight is my greatest fear. I honestly don't understand how anyone copes with it. If I was diagnosed with macular degeneration, I would take myself out.

It's not that bad after the first year.  The first year you kind of lose your mind,  between anxiety and sensory  deprivation and overload all at once.  You tend to be a little hysterical. Mobility is scary as shit.  I get panicked when things get too loud, or things  vibrate. After awhile you adjust. It's not that bad. No need to kill yourself.

Am I interpretting this correctly BrokenQuill? You yourself are blind? Forgive my ignorance on the subject, but how do you do things on this forum... an app/program that dictates and has speach recognition?

I myself am not blind but have been wearing glasses since 7th grade... I'm going on 32 this Sept... Every time I go for an exam, my vision is worse... its to the point where I cant read the words on a screen 1.5" away from my face... I need my glasses for everything, otherwise everything is a blur... my next step is lasik... hopefully, it works lol
