My biggest fear in life...losing my sight. Incredible respect to these athletes to overcome their disability of impaired sight. I cannot even imagine. I have no idea how you do it.

It definitely isn’t easy. Take it from someone who is visually impaired and has been that way for 19 years. Technically not a full 19 because I lost my side at two years old, but that’s how it feels. Funny though, your biggest fear is losing your sight, my biggest fear would be regaining my sight. When being visually impaired is all you know, it becomes difficult to imagine not being that way anymore. Plus it introduced me to all these types of sports that I never would’ve known about otherwise, so that’s another cool thing.

I started losing my vision when I turned 18 years old and was officially announced as legally blind back in 2020 at the start of the pandemic. Though, honestly, my eyesight had never been very good to begin with. I was myoptic (near-sighted) and had worn glasses for as long as I could remember...meaning I was already visually impaired to begin with. It could just still be corrected back then with the help of glasses, contacts, or surgery. That's no longer an option for me, now. Anyways, when I first began to lose my vision it was devastating to me as I was a hobby artist, wrote fanfiction, loved to read, and was a very big arts and crafts person...and as I lost vision the ways in which I partook in those hobbies previously no longer worked for me. I had a period of time in which I was grieving the loss of my eyesight - which is perfectly natural, of course. But you don't really get a choice in some things in life and this was one of those times for me. All you can do is keep going and to slowly figure out ways to continue with what you love or to find new things to enjoy. Now I honestly can't even imagine what it would be like to have my vision again and the thought of it returning is actually just as terrifying as the thought of losing it had been for me in the beginning. Honestly, there's not much to it. You just continue on with your life and adapt little by little until it becomes your new norm. To me it's comparable to changing your schedule or moving into a new house, in a way. You get used to it.

You underestimate the power of the brain - once the brain cannot rely on visual cues it redirects way more power to auditory sensations.

I'm legally blind and my partner just sent me this video because he was curious if there were any sports for visually impaired folks, lolol. This definitely seems interesting and like it would be a bit nerve wrecking! Certainly something that would get the adrenaline going.
