A girl I used to know since we were in kindergarden found out as a teenager she had Macular Degeneration. One day she just woke up with a blank spot in her field of vision and.... and the doctor told her she was slowly going to become completely blind and there was nothing they could do about it.... I can only imagine how hard it must've been to hear those words.
+Shatrex i find it odd how you view the world as some people live their lives with bigger "struggles" than others, like for e.g how can brad pitt's child get big or any struggles? compared to like poor people in underdeveloped countries, yes this guy is blind but still lives a happy life but there are not near as many people like him this is why is view stuff like this unfair
One of my best friends has a degenerative eye disease. He's a freshman, and he's predicted be legally blind by the time he graduates. This made me really depressed because I don't want him to ever have to go through something like this... He doesn't deserve it.
my mom is blind and shes still so happy every day. shes an inspiration to me. its my worst nightmare to go blind especially as an artist because that would hinder me from doing what i love
I always complain about wearing glasses and I don't wear them because I think I look weird but I'm so selfish other people can barely see and I'm complaining wow...
No, he is blind. Blind means more than just “black”. It’s a scale. Like if you lost your leg.. you’re an amputee. No one asks how MUCH of your leg did you lose..? It’s just un-usable as it is.
Going blind now isn't as bad as going blind back in the 19th century, didn't have as much technology as we do now. Because of my iPad, I can be a blind video creator on this website. That says a lot! You are awesome. Thank you for sharing the details and struggles you have to go through. And for people wondering how a blind person writes a comment, I am actually talking with my voice, and my iPad is turning it into words AKA print for you to read.
Intellect Haven't you ever used voice commands when texting someone? "I am actually talking with my voice comma and my iPad is turning it into words AKA print for you to read period" is what he would say. Also, the iPad may be interpreting some punctuation itself.
i have really bad eyesight, but id like to say thanks to someone who helped me out a lot in life... thank you for the person who made glasses, goddd blesss
I don't i had an Allergy when i was little and it is 20/40 :(( and i have a big eye prescription and its pretty bad i have lazy eyes but its gonna get better in 5 or 6 years :(
The worst thing that can happen to you in life is losing your vision throughout your life. If you're born blind, then you never knew how it was to be able to see. But if you gradually become blind, then you already experienced to good part, and your life slowly becomes completely different. And you have to sacrifice so many activities to adapt to your new lifestyle!! To me, sight is probably one of the most important senses, I would hate to have Macular Degeneration :(
Jack Beckman I have it too and also miopia. You can still use glasses to see or do a laser surgery to correct it. It is nothing like what The dude from The video has. His condition is 10,000 times worse cause he can't see and there is nothing he can do but we can just go get a pair of glasses and we can see perfectly.
Don't compare what that guy has been going through with astigmatism because it's not that bad at all and A LOT of people have it. Plus you can fix it and it's nothing like what that guy has it
Its not im ok with being blind you learn to adapt you get used to it i went blind at 12 I'm 25 now I wouldn't change my blindness for anything I've been blind longer than I've been sighted
my mom said I will be legally blind by age 22 because I'm 14 now and a -9 and last year I was -7 doctors said with my changing eyesight laser surgery isn't a option really. I don't want to go blind how will I go to college, own a restaurant, and have kids like I wanted to? I'm fine with wearing glasses for the rest of my life but I never want to be blind.. 😢😢 no one deserves to lose their ability to move, hear, and see losing one is bad enough let's find a way to help the people who suffer from these loses.
Just take care , use black clases always , stay away from the sin, dont scrach your eyes, take vitamin C , always wear your glases , if your eyesight is stable at the age of 20 you can get PRK or Lasik surgery
I'm like you too, I'm 22, I've been using glasses practically my whole life and my eyesight is not stable... it keeps getting worse, not as much as you but, every time I go to the doctor the difference is significant. I asked my doctor about it because I was concerned and he told me my eyesight is supposed to be stabilized by now so he says it may be progressive. I asked about the surgery but he told me is not possible at the moment because my eyesight is changing so much. :/ Like the other person said wait till your 20 around that age your eyesight is supposed to stabilize.
That's a big issue for me aswell. I cant see the lights and I cant see if cars are coming. I normally listen for the sound of the car for some indication.
daniel king im really sorry to ask you this and i do not intend to be offencive in any way, but how did you see what you were typing? Are you blind too?
This vid makes me feel sad. And scared to go blind, even though my vision is good, i spend a lot of time on my phone whatching youtube vids and about 2hours playing games on PS4
David Wiita That is true but it also depends on the person, alot of people have weak vision and small things like looking directly at a lamp can nearly decrease their ability to see.
Yeah I have really weak eyesight i got glasses when i was 7 or 8 I watched a lot of youtube and played a lot if games and I was into reading books in the dark and my eyesight got worse and worse and now I can barely see anything that is about 20 cm from my eyes.
Well idk but usually my eyes hurt and the sides of my heard when I spend like 3 hours on this little iPhone screen. But it's good to know that I won't go blind
...I don't. I think about it everyday. I wear glasses and without them I can't read unless what I'm reading is 2 cm from my face. Otherwise, it's a blob. I can see perfectly with glasses but I always think of how lucky I am to be able to see. You should appreciate the simple things in life, dude. It makes everything more enjoyable.
I'm going blind also. It's scary but staying strong and positive helps. I have a retina disease that cannot be cured. Surrounding myself with positive good people is my key to being happy. I don't let it hold me back even though I can barely check my mail outside by myself but I still live a productive life as much as I can
you are strong person i hope be easy for you, just know i care for you and anyone else who is going through this, just surround yourself with people who love you, one thing it does it makes you appreciate the people you have in your life, i just hope scientist one day can cure this, the eyes are truly special. god bless you and hope your life be easy friend.
I don't use glasses because i don't have any problems with my eyes but I always fear of getting it or something, like I don't want to live my life like that..
unrevenanthypercam 12 Jesus Christ is our lord and savior John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
I'm going blind too, I'm not as bad has him, but I and the doctors think that by the time I'm 25 I'll be as bad or even worse them him. It scares me because I love see the trees and grass and flowers, seeing my family/friends smiles. I don't ever wanna not see their smiles, so I do every thing in my power to make them smile.
That's horrible. I'm so sorry that that is happening to you. I cannot imagine what it's like to go through something so tragic. I wish you the best of luck, and of course see as much as you can while you still have the vision to see the world around you!
Perhaps in the near future, new treatments will be available to reverse loss of eyesight. There are doctors around the world working on a solution every day! Don't lose hope!!!
Up till the age of 6 my vision was obscured by color most of the time. It was like when you look at a bright light and then look away and you have color spots in your vision for a few minutes. except it was like that for 6 years
Just because someone has vision loss, doesn’t mean it’s the end of the world. We adapt to our own situations. He adapted to his own situation. I’m legally blind. Some vision in my left eye and none in my right eye. My life isn’t that bad living with a disability. Even though, there’s still down times. I love my life just the way it is! Even with limited eyesight! We aren’t “broken” and don’t need to be “fixed.”
+Uncreative Name yeah, but I heard most people who are blind aren't completely blind, some can sense light sources, which allows them to locate windows and doors
No not really, that person have a thing to fight for so of course he would do anything in order to live a life that he wanted which means living, like tbh all people rn is struggling to live life.
I have thought about it. I’m going blind too, but it’s so hard to give up on the scraps of vision you have. The scraps of fun. Once a year I say “I’m going to play a video game!” and load up something easy like minecraft.. stop after an hour and lay down from the pain for the rest of the day. Today was that day. The biggest problem is the pain. Any condition that gives you a lot of pain is going to ruin your life. Or your sense of life.
he is legally blind. most blind people don't see completely black. and not cutting even more your senses would make you just more vulnerable because your body relays in any they have.

I was at my ex friend's house and she had a brother she hated, he was blind, and when he asked for water she took colorex bleach instead of water, and he couldn't see the different, and forgot to smell. so he drank a bit, and ended up in the hospital in coma totally shocked out, he was lucky to live, and when he opened his eyes, he could see agian, and after that he loved his sister, but Im still mad, he could have died..
god I can't imagine how that must be like...I would be distraught if I lost sight. Art, drawing and design are my LIFE, if I lost my eyesight I'd be crushed
I have a genetic mutation so I can only see out of one eye, and they other one is blurry, but not so blurry I can't see. And Glasses don't fix the blurry eye.
I have social anxiety. It really sucks because I don't have many friends. I can only manage to talk to people online at the moment. Hopefully I'll be able to speak to people face-to-face in the future, but going outside is like hell for me. If people at school try to talk to me, I literally run away.
I can relate, social anxiety is terrible especially in school. I rarely even write comments (maybe once a year) on youtube videos. It seems so easy for others to communicate and make friends. I wish you luck in overcoming your social anxiety, it's not easy :')
***** I am diagnosed with social anxiety. I have counselling to help me with it, too. If you know you're having difficulties, you should try to overcome it. I wouldn't mention it if I wasn't doing anything to resolve it.
Shiz...This made me almost cry and to think that if I don't get a surgery within two years I'll be blind too makes it freaking worse. I feel for all the people in this world that are either going blind or already blind and pray that their lives will still be wonderful and that they stay safe.
im completely blind on my right eye. or better i dont have an real right eye. it feels weird and sometimes i wanna see like a normal person. (my eye got amputated idk if i typed it right because it was about to pop out and it was soft you could touch it and it didnt hurt)
I'm 21 and I was diagnosed with Keratoconus two years ago. I use to be able to wear glasses but now glasses at the highest prescription do nothing. My vision has gotten pretty bad especially in my left eye. The vision in my left eye is exactly like his is at 1:07 But now the vision in right eye is starting to deteriorate. I can barely see myself in the mirror when I don't have my contact lenses in. I only have two options either to keep wearing hard contacts (this doesn't fix the issue this only makes it so I can see) or a corneal transplant which I can't afford. For now I use the hard rgp contacts but they make my eyes red and irritated. I'm scared that my keratoconus will continue to progress and I will be blind one day 😔
Please please stay strong and positive no matter what!!! I know it's hard but let's treasure this one life that we have and think of what we have instead :))
I am 20 and half a year ago I heard that I might have keratoconus, which can make you legally blind. I'm so scared. Got to go back to the doctor soon to see if it got worse...
His level of gratitude for what he has is amazing. Despite being blind, he is grateful for the good things in his life. A lot of people could learn something valuable from that.
I'm going deaf slowly and I'm only 15. Music is everything for me and to know I won't be able to hear anything one day, makes me incredible s ad. Honestly I'm scared, I'm so freaking scared. I can't hear anything at all on my right ear and my left ear is still okay (actually also bad but better than the other one). The doctor said In half a year I will be completely deaf. I'm listening as much music as possible right now, but I will forget all my favourite songs one day. This video calmed me down and inspired me so much. Thank you!
Misao theWitch I saw this guy in london who learnt how to play piano and they were blind apparently so you still have hope if you go deaf just memorise the keys and the sounds and get a friend to help.
My grandma sees like that kind of, shes going blind. She also puts all computer text super large and has her computer talk to her. I am used to her not looking at me while talking because i know that thats the only way she could even partially see me.
With the traffic light, If there's a person next to you just explain the situation and ask them to tell you when the light goes green. Conversations. Again just explain the situation...
While I can see why that would sometimes help, some people are jerks and might decide it would be funny to have him walk out into the middle of traffic
+Lets Mash It Up! yes, some people would do that. some people have a sick sense of humor, or they aren't mature enough to think, "oh, if I tell this guy to go when the lights red, he could die." it's not unheard of, and if you think that only a mentally challenged person would do that, then you are very wrong.
***** I've seen it happen actually..... Not saying most people would do that or that he shouldn't ask for help- just that a few people can be very rude towards blind ppl.
It's a sad world we live in, lots of scumbags and the like. A while back, I saw some assholes purposefully trip this blind guy at my school. He dropped his books and papers went flying everywhere and they just laughed and walked away. I just stood there shocked for a moment before helping him with his stuff. It was like a cliche scene out of some movie about high school and bullies.
I have MS and went suddenly blind in my left eye one night, happened over three hours start to finish. Lasted for two months, slowly resolved itself and I got most of the sight back. Scariest thing that's ever happened to me.
I love how most people with the worst physical disorders are so happy and seeing the best in life, things that people that have the perfectly functioning body usually can't do
Im blind and i am always in depression. When you cant see anything, you got nothing to talk about and here you are alone with no one wanting to talk to you. Sometimes i wonder why am i alive
it would be good to find a community, I know some foundation that for example play chess for blind people or make teams. it's not like you have to talk to only blind people but it's a good place to start if you feel really isolated. online friends helps too. some media like audiobooks, books with a speaker or Twitter that it's most text that can be read with TalkBack on your phone. I know too of a great football player that play for the blind team of my country and he's really good. Even people who doesn't have those experience feel like they fit in sometimes is about trying to search in the right places.
After this video I feel really grateful that I don't have a disease.

A girl I used to know since we were in kindergarden found out as a teenager she had Macular Degeneration.

The worst thing that can happen to you in life is losing your vision throughout your life.
If you're born blind, then you never knew how it was to be able to see.
But if you gradually become blind, then you already experienced to good part, and your life slowly becomes completely different. And you have to sacrifice so many activities to adapt to your new lifestyle!!
To me, sight is probably one of the most important senses, I would hate to have Macular Degeneration :(
Elvis Murzametov I have astigmatism? Is it that bad?
When I lose my vision complete, i'll probably kill myself.
Jack Beckman I have it too and also miopia. You can still use glasses to see or do a laser surgery to correct it. It is nothing like what The dude from The video has. His condition is 10,000 times worse cause he can't see and there is nothing he can do but we can just go get a pair of glasses and we can see perfectly.
Don't compare what that guy has been going through with astigmatism because it's not that bad at all and A LOT of people have it. Plus you can fix it and it's nothing like what that guy has it

If you are blind you can still do those things!
Just take care , use black clases always , stay away from the sin, dont scrach your eyes, take vitamin C , always wear your glases , if your eyesight is stable at the age of 20 you can get PRK or Lasik surgery
I'm like you too, I'm 22, I've been using glasses practically my whole life and my eyesight is not stable... it keeps getting worse, not as much as you but, every time I go to the doctor the difference is significant.

First. you won't go blind from that.
Second, don't be scared about something you are in control of..
Well idk but usually my eyes hurt and the sides of my heard when I spend like 3 hours on this little iPhone screen. But it's good to know that I won't go blind
I was hoping for 3 and a half minutes of pitch black
***** is it like closing your eyes?
lmao thanks for the laugh man
***** its like seeing through your elbow, you just can't. There is no color at all, simply.
I actually searched up: what blind people *see*
Same
Me too
I’m pretty sure they see what you see when you close your eyes
@@kiim_chi they see “nothing” yes literally nothing no darkness or anything well thats what it is for people born blind
TSMASH JR well it’s hard to imagine “nothing” for someone who isn’t blind. I’ve always seen “something”
And we all take our sight for granted
...I don't. I think about it everyday. I wear glasses and without them I can't read unless what I'm reading is 2 cm from my face. Otherwise, it's a blob. I can see perfectly with glasses but I always think of how lucky I am to be able to see. You should appreciate the simple things in life, dude. It makes everything more enjoyable.
Not people with glasses and or contacts! #Me
lucky perfect vision people...
Fifteen Fern There's to many things people can be "lucky" to have.
I know I didn't mean it in that way.
I'm going blind also. It's scary but staying strong and positive helps. I have a retina disease that cannot be cured. Surrounding myself with positive good people is my key to being happy. I don't let it hold me back even though I can barely check my mail outside by myself but I still live a productive life as much as I can
you are strong person i hope be easy for you, just know i care for you and anyone else who is going through this, just surround yourself with people who love you, one thing it does it makes you appreciate the people you have in your life, i just hope scientist one day can cure this, the eyes are truly special. god bless you and hope your life be easy friend.
David Whaley I wish you good luck! I'm also suprised that you didn't ask for likes like others.
Dafuq
how are you typing (Im joking)
David Whaley just get an eye operation lmao
David Whaley God bless you. You can handle this.
I feel so bad for people with this problem... I complain about having to wear glasses, but living with his vision would be so mortifying
ik same x
I don't use glasses because i don't have any problems with my eyes but I always fear of getting it or something, like I don't want to live my life like that..
+Have A Good Day Living with glasses aren't bad, I meant his eye-sight ( If someone didn't understand what I meant )
I have glasses but I loot them
Alhamdulilah we are not blind. May Allah protect us and heal all the people who are blind inshallah

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
I'm going blind too, I'm not as bad has him, but I and the doctors think that by the time I'm 25 I'll be as bad or even worse them him. It scares me because I love see the trees and grass and flowers, seeing my family/friends smiles. I don't ever wanna not see their smiles, so I do every thing in my power to make them smile.
That's horrible. I'm so sorry that that is happening to you. I cannot imagine what it's like to go through something so tragic. I wish you the best of luck, and of course see as much as you can while you still have the vision to see the world around you!
Perhaps in the near future, new treatments will be available to reverse loss of eyesight. There are doctors around the world working on a solution every day! Don't lose hope!!!
You are in my prayers
sorry for that god heals 😇
God bless you
I always thought blindness would be darkness... So instead of seeing a blank, white sheet of nothing, you'd just see black...
Different levels of blindness. You see black if somebody destroyed your eyes.
same
Up till the age of 6 my vision was obscured by color most of the time. It was like when you look at a bright light and then look away and you have color spots in your vision for a few minutes. except it was like that for 6 years
For people born blind, they wouldn't see pure black, because they wouldn't know colours so they wouldn't know what the colour black even is.
Minji Kwon for what i know a lot of legally blind people can actually see brightness but i think that it depends from the disease
I always thought blindness would be darkness...
Me too.

Just because someone has vision loss, doesn’t mean it’s the end of the world. We adapt to our own situations. He adapted to his own situation. I’m legally blind. Some vision in my left eye and none in my right eye. My life isn’t that bad living with a disability. Even though, there’s still down times. I love my life just the way it is! Even with limited eyesight! We aren’t “broken” and don’t need to be “fixed.”
I could never imagine being blind
I could never see myself being blind. Ba dum tssss
+Spring Howell it's easy, just close your eyes without opening them for an entire day.
+Uncreative Name yeah, but I heard most people who are blind aren't completely blind, some can sense light sources, which allows them to locate windows and doors
+xboxaddict99 You are so wrong for that lmao
Close your eyes maybe?.
This terrifies me. Of all the senses one can lose, this would be the worst.
The sense to touch/feel would be the worst
Sometimes best. Pain you shall not feel without touch. I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE ALL SENSES BUT TASTE IF I LOST ONE!
Danielle Labianca Pain is a very important part of your nervous system
Can learn to read lips
***** Its not hard
Sight, mind, arms and legs.
could you imagine the terrors of life without them?
And hearing...
+mike mikeson And tasting. All the food in this world, and you wouldn't be able to know the taste ; - ;.
Mikachu YT
How about the ability to THINK?
OH GOD
+Sir Pwnsalot well if u can't think, you would be in a comma, not moving, no thinking, I mean that sucks,but at least you won't know what's going on
if my vision was this bad I would just close my eyes and say I'm blind, easier than struggling
Wolfy Being completely blind is also a difficult struggle
No not really, that person have a thing to fight for so of course he would do anything in order to live a life that he wanted which means living, like tbh all people rn is struggling to live life.
I have thought about it. I’m going blind too, but it’s so hard to give up on the scraps of vision you have. The scraps of fun.
Once a year I say “I’m going to play a video game!” and load up something easy like minecraft.. stop after an hour and lay down from the pain for the rest of the day.
Today was that day.
The biggest problem is the pain. Any condition that gives you a lot of pain is going to ruin your life. Or your sense of life.
he is legally blind. most blind people don't see completely black. and not cutting even more your senses would make you just more vulnerable because your body relays in any they have.
Wow. This man has made me really appreciate what I take for granted.
I'm so thankful that god give me good eyes
"god"
Roshaun Kennedy God
markunci why you said god
Roshaun Kennedy Always capitalize God, that's what everybody does
markunci ok i will
wauw i don't understand how people can live with this. I would idk cry all day maybe.
Not really. If you were born with it, you would think its normal. So you most likely wouldnt cry all day.
Itz _ Jake yes ok that's true. But if it would happen all of the sudden it would be harder to deal with it I guess
+Stefania Welvaert Yeah, thats true. But over time you'd get used to it. Like the guy in the video.
Itz _ Jake yeah over time i geuss you would get used to it
Yea, but it must be frustrating knowing others have an advantage over you
Awwww I feel bad for him 😢 God bless him 💖 💕 I hope he gets better soon
it sadly cant be cured, and it can also last for years or be lifelong, hopefully a cure is found one day.

I was at my ex friend's house and she had a brother she hated, he was blind, and when he asked for water she took colorex bleach instead of water, and he couldn't see the different, and forgot to smell. so he drank a bit, and ended up in the hospital in coma totally shocked out, he was lucky to live, and when he opened his eyes, he could see agian, and after that he loved his sister, but Im still mad, he could have died..
Psykoart ༼ʘ̚ل͜ʘ̚༽ wow
LukEisNotOk wow he gained sight from bleach but still she risked his life and shouldn’t hate her sibling
It’s nice to hear your not her friend anymore
so you discovered the cure for blindness
Wait, what?
I can't imagine losing my sight!!! 😧😱🤔
He's so nice!!!
well i already did without my glasses i can barely see
SillyBunny5 _Your so stupid._
Isabelle desmit me either...I rather die...
I Z Z Y de Smit me either, nobody will love me😖
god I can't imagine how that must be like...I would be distraught if I lost sight. Art, drawing and design are my LIFE, if I lost my eyesight I'd be crushed
BriWolfie omg im exactly the same
BriWolfie the same with me too
BriWolfie God*
BriWolfie SAME ITS ONE OF MY WORST FEARS
I would be fine cause then I'd at least be able to sleep without struggling to hold my eyes shut. From my time in the army
i was today years old when i knew blind people still see some color, i thought they are only see like pure black. I hope you are still doing fine man!
I hope Marc will be able to fix this. Because i wouldn't be able to live like this.
... You really couldn't live blind?
I have a genetic mutation so I can only see out of one eye, and they other one is blurry, but not so blurry I can't see. And Glasses don't fix the blurry eye.
+KeiyaValecourt not really... I could but it would be really hard
you'd have to.
id be bored to death
I have social anxiety. It really sucks because I don't have many friends. I can only manage to talk to people online at the moment. Hopefully I'll be able to speak to people face-to-face in the future, but going outside is like hell for me. If people at school try to talk to me, I literally run away.
You sound like my best friend v- she ran from a teacher when she had to hand in her book
Hers got better, yours will too :)
I can relate, social anxiety is terrible especially in school. I rarely even write comments (maybe once a year) on youtube videos. It seems so easy for others to communicate and make friends. I wish you luck in overcoming your social anxiety, it's not easy :')
***** I am diagnosed with social anxiety. I have counselling to help me with it, too. If you know you're having difficulties, you should try to overcome it. I wouldn't mention it if I wasn't doing anything to resolve it.
you sound... odd. Do you really run away?
KettiexD Yes, I do.
This made me cry, I admire this person for their positive view and strength. I hope someone hugs him.
I’m 17 and my eye doctor said that I might be developing glaucoma this makes me scared I hope to god I don’t get it
How are you??
@@mikasus9491 they said that everything’s fine when I went back to the dr he just said my left optical is slightly bigger than the right.
@@pumpingreps1518 good to know 👍
@@pumpingreps1518 hi any update on your eyes?
I wouldn’t worry. It’s estimated only 5 percent of glaucoma patients have incurable sight loss, 95 percent have correctable vision.
Shiz...This made me almost cry and to think that if I don't get a surgery within two years I'll be blind too makes it freaking worse. I feel for all the people in this world that are either going blind or already blind and pray that their lives will still be wonderful and that they stay safe.
im completely blind on my right eye. or better i dont have an real right eye. it feels weird and sometimes i wanna see like a normal person. (my eye got amputated idk if i typed it right because it was about to pop out and it was soft you could touch it and it didnt hurt)
Xoce Ouch man! Wish you the best. So now you rely completely on your left eye?
+TheAbeham yeah. its hard but i still can see SOMETHING.
Xoce Better than nothing

Now I'm really ashamed of myself for being depressed about not being able to afford a car.
We are often so ungrateful for what we have.

you aren't special.
Let's pray for Marc.
Heavenly Father thank you for bringing Marc into this world, may the Lord bless him with a cure for blindness. AMEN

I'm 21 and I was diagnosed with Keratoconus two years ago. I use to be able to wear glasses but now glasses at the highest prescription do nothing. My vision has gotten pretty bad especially in my left eye. The vision in my left eye is exactly like his is at 1:07 But now the vision in right eye is starting to deteriorate. I can barely see myself in the mirror when I don't have my contact lenses in. I only have two options either to keep wearing hard contacts (this doesn't fix the issue this only makes it so I can see) or a corneal transplant which I can't afford. For now I use the hard rgp contacts but they make my eyes red and irritated. I'm scared that my keratoconus will continue to progress and I will be blind one day 😔
Rima A praying for you.
Please please stay strong and positive no matter what!!! I know it's hard but let's treasure this one life that we have and think of what we have instead :))
Rima A aww god bless and you will be in my prayers
Purple Eaglezzz Like that will help
Rima A god bless u❤i wish u sm luck
I am 20 and half a year ago I heard that I might have keratoconus, which can make you legally blind. I'm so scared. Got to go back to the doctor soon to see if it got worse...
Best of luck man
PoisonTheOgres damn best hope it went well if you can still see
I probably have that tbh
PoisonTheOgres my dad says I'm scared of everything

thx my left eye is blind
ITS OVER 9000
well, my right eye is basically blind. If we were one person, than they'd be blind.
I wish everything becomes normal in Marc's life...lets all pray for him.
His level of gratitude for what he has is amazing. Despite being blind, he is grateful for the good things in his life. A lot of people could learn something valuable from that.
And people complain about 360p on TH-cam 🙄🙄🙄 smh
😂👌🏼
haha i myself dont complain tho just sayin
I usually watch 144 or 240p just cuz of the stupid Internet I have xD

This is very similar to my vision. I have RP with light perception. Thank you for the great video!
I'm going deaf slowly and I'm only 15. Music is everything for me and to know I won't be able to hear anything one day, makes me incredible s ad. Honestly I'm scared, I'm so freaking scared. I can't hear anything at all on my right ear and my left ear is still okay (actually also bad but better than the other one). The doctor said In half a year I will be completely deaf. I'm listening as much music as possible right now, but I will forget all my favourite songs one day.
This video calmed me down and inspired me so much. Thank you!
Misao theWitch I saw this guy in london who learnt how to play piano and they were blind apparently so you still have hope if you go deaf just memorise the keys and the sounds and get a friend to help.
Some ppl get transplants of the non-working parts of their ears and the problem is solved pretty dang quickly. Also, you aight?
Misao theWitch How is your hearing now?
I'm so sorry.. God bless you
Are you deaf now if you are I'm very sorry god bless
Dang, I feel so bad for him. Now really don't feel bad about myself having to wear glasses to see better
Same :(
***** ??
***** LOL!
Lol he could learn how to see without his eyes. Shocker I know.
Me too I thought glasses were bad...
Im always thankful when I watch videos like these. We take such a simple necessity for granted. Kudos to this guy!
i've had really bad eyesight my whole life, my biggest fear is that i'll end up blind one day
Sameee, how are you?

sorry i hope u get better some day

thats just my opinion :)

losing your memory

With the traffic light, If there's a person next to you just explain the situation and ask them to tell you when the light goes green.
Conversations. Again just explain the situation...
While I can see why that would sometimes help, some people are jerks and might decide it would be funny to have him walk out into the middle of traffic
Lindsey Jackson You really think anyone would do that? Anyone who would do that is mental
+Lets Mash It Up! yes, some people would do that. some people have a sick sense of humor, or they aren't mature enough to think, "oh, if I tell this guy to go when the lights red, he could die." it's not unheard of, and if you think that only a mentally challenged person would do that, then you are very wrong.
***** I've seen it happen actually..... Not saying most people would do that or that he shouldn't ask for help- just that a few people can be very rude towards blind ppl.
It's a sad world we live in, lots of scumbags and the like. A while back, I saw some assholes purposefully trip this blind guy at my school. He dropped his books and papers went flying everywhere and they just laughed and walked away. I just stood there shocked for a moment before helping him with his stuff. It was like a cliche scene out of some movie about high school and bullies.

Damn bro you good
it would be good to find a community, I know some foundation that for example play chess for blind people or make teams. it's not like you have to talk to only blind people but it's a good place to start if you feel really isolated. online friends helps too. some media like audiobooks, books with a speaker or Twitter that it's most text that can be read with TalkBack on your phone. I know too of a great football player that play for the blind team of my country and he's really good. Even people who doesn't have those experience feel like they fit in sometimes is about trying to search in the right places.
