'Sight loss is not black and white.'
'Ninety three per cent of us who are registered blind or partially sighted can see something.'
'My eye condition is glaucoma, and, if you imagine in my left eye, I've no perception of light at all, so it's completely black, and in my right eye, it's almost like I'm looking through a really murky kind of watery fog machine, if you like.'
'I have Usher syndrome type 2. That's a combination of hearing impairment and retinitis pigmentosa. The most common misconception about my sight loss in particular is that I don't "look blind".'
'I have macular degeneration. I can't see your face now, there's just a big round blob there and I have double vision as well. The first couple of years were horrendous, it was like a bereavement really. I was so afraid. I might cry. People are absolutely brilliant, but without the white cane, I would not be as confident.'
'In the UK, more than 2 million people are living with sight loss. Being registered blind doesn't mean you can't see anything. There's a whole spectrum of sight loss out there and that's what people need to know about.'
'RNIB Cymru. Golwg gwahanol. See differently.'
