Looks very low resolution, but better that what god left him with. I am sure it will improve with time
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups

Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!

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.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

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.

The eye, it would seem, is poorly designed.

Quote:The most obvious design flaw of the retina is that the cellular layers are backwards. Light has to travel through multiple layers in order to get to the rods and cones that act as the photo-receptors. There is no functional reason for this arrangement – it is purely quirky and contingent.
