    I knew a guy in college who had to do this, he had a degenerative eye disease or something that no amount of glasses, hard contacts, or whatever could fix. It seemed like it royally sucked, but he always seemed in good spirits.

    Except I vaguely recall he impaled his own leg on a sharp branch while jogging because he couldn’t see it. That would suck.
