I promised after the December EUA that I would post even if Aaron was doing well. Reality is that this is really hard, both because there's nothing to write about Aaron that's relevant for the blog (that's a good thing) and because the news articles that come up on Google are either about someone who's blind from congenital glaucoma or aren't really saying anything new (in my unprofessional opinion).
However, I came across an interesting TED Talk called Design with the Blind in Mind. (NB: Aaron's vision right now is great but if you've read my previous posts then you'll know I like to prepare for things going awry so I occasionally do research on what life is like with partial or complete vision loss).
The talk was especially interesting to me a) because it gave good perspective on what things could be like for someone who loses their sight later in life and b) because my husband and I both work in the design industry. The speaker, Chris Downey, talks about how thoughtful design is beneficial for everyone whether they have limited sight or not. I couldn't agree more. (Chris is an architect who lost his sight after successful removal of a brain tumour, btw.)
Link to the talk is here if you fancy watching.
