The fashion student had an exciting career ahead of her which was cut short and the shock and lack of confidence left her hidden away for a little while. Now she has a guide dog called Betty and regularly models. She uses it as an outlet for her creativity and to express herself by creating fashion looks for photoshoots. Because she is so fashionable a lot of people don’t realise she is blind. I am working with her to try and increase diversity in the fashion world and show that blind people should still be included.Professional or Amateur Photographer: Amateur

The eye is a beautiful and intricate organ. Enjoy!
This is quite a focussed shot of my macula. But you can see some of my laser burns around the edge. The dark spot is scar tissue from them. If you have the stomach for it, browse through google's images
I'm on my 34th year as a type 1 diabetic. I suffer from Diabetic Proliferative Retinopathy. The procedure I had was called panretinal photocoagulation. It is a simple yet insideous treatment. The problem is from the very tiny blood vessels in the eye getting damaged and clogged. They stem from the optic nerve, that bright spot, and spread throughout the eye. Eventually the peripheral tissue starts complaining about not being fed and emit proteins. These proteins signal the brain to grow new blood vessels. They grow, but they don't grow where they are supposed to. They branch out into the vitreous like a tree. As they are unsupported, they are weak and eventually hemmhorrage. That's where the blindness you read about happens. Blood will form scar tissue on the retina which is inherently unstable. It will eventually breakaway pulling the retina with it. Torn retinas are not easy to fix; though medicine has advance very far. What PRP does is basically kill much of the peripheral, the proteins stop, and the vessels shrivel up. This works very well. Some peripheral vision is sacrificed, but it's not that bad. Better than losing central vision!
www.optimedica.com/pascal/fundus_images.aspx
I did have a major hemmhorrage in 2006. I was legally blind in the eye for about six weeks. A clot formed and kept growing, right in teh bloody center of my vision (pun intended). I had an operation called a vitrectomy to hoover out all the blood and fix the damage. While in there they gave me even more laser. My left peripheral vision is much less than my right now. Both eyes have a few floaters too.
"...a rapid passage between old and new, like rapid alteration of the eye's focus in looking at the landscape, will always be wearisome and hurtful to the sense of beauty."
— Preface. Palgrave, Francis T., ed. 1875. The Golden Treasury
This felt appropriate today, because I just returned from my eye doctor. No retinopathy, no cataracts, and a new need for bifocals. Yay.
I need focus.

For We're Here! : Things You Couldn't Live Without
I can live without my sight but I wouldn't want to. I've always had perfect vision.
I have central serous retinopathy and it's not super bad but when I have the circle and can't see, I have to have injections in my eye.
I had one today and now it feels like I have glass shards under my eyelids.
I would rather feel glass in my eye than not be able to see all the beauty that is all around me.

On 11 June 2014 at UNICEF House, participants of the Global Partnership on Children with Disabilities learning and advocacy event prepared for a public speaking role about their lives, their disabilities and their dreams of inclusion for persons with and without disabilities.
Kartik Sawhney, 19, was born in India and is the recipient of many prestigious awards for his academic achievements. Currently a sophomore on full scholarship at Stanford University [California, USA] majoring in Computer Science, he is involved with young voices in India advocating for the rights of persons with disabilities. Born with Retinopathy of Prematurity, he has faced many challenges, but he has been proactive about his education and participation in school and social activities.
“When we talk about inclusion most people think it is basically including people with disabilities in mainstream education,” he says. “When I think about inclusion, I think of persons with disabilities actually communicating and participating with other students having the same resources and opportunities to succeed and have a holistic education as others. When I was in high school, I made it a point to participate... I was never told that I could not participate in sports or activities that was not really thought of as suitable for someone who was blind. Rather the teachers who were responsible for the activity were always up for taking up the challenge and devising alternative methods to include me in everything possible.”
“Persons with disabilities have always relied on innovations from others to accomplish the most basic tasks. Can you believe a person with disability actually being an innovator? “Science, technology, engineer and mathematics, these 4 words that have changed the world today are considered to be the four edges of a geometric figure that is not supposed to be touched by someone who is blind or visually impaired. But what happens if someone is really passionate about these subjects and really wants to pursue them? Should they be denied an opportunity simply because the world thinks that these subjects are too visual to be managed by someone who is blind?”
When he was in the 10th grade, he had to choose an educational track… “Everyone around me including some of my friends and teachers advised me to go for subjects including law and music simply because these subjects were far less technical and would not involve any visual inputs,” he says. “I was very confident about my choice and wanted to pursue science, no matter what. I wrote letters to the educational board in India and after 9 months finally got permission to pursue sciences, as India’s first blind student to do so. But that definitely was not the end of challenges for me. I soon realized that science was full of diagrams and other equations that were extremely challenging for me to handle especially because there was no assisted technology in India at that time. How do I go about doing that now? I was shattered and I almost thought that perhaps what people had been telling me before I made this decision were actually correct, and I’d better change my stream.”
“That is when a thought struck me. Who creates technologies? You? Me? Yes, people like us. So what if I cannot buy the expensive technologies that can enable me to study sciences? I can make my own technology. I can help me and other students like me in developing a world to understand science. That is when I came up with a suite of software that I call “STEM Made Easy” which consists of 2 suites, the first [is] a programme called “Audio Graft Describer,” which takes an equation corresponding to a curve and converts it to its audio tonal representation…I’m passionate about music too. And that is when I thought, well, let’s use music to understand graphs. And I came up with this software that uses 21 musical notes and using the variation in the frequencies, conveys how the graph is laid out.
The second software that I created is called: “Verbal Image Describer” that allows users to upload textbooks and then add descriptions for images in that textbook. The main advantage of this software was that [it] reduces the dependence on sighted assistants for understanding images.”
Kartik also came up with an alternative convention along with assistance from his teachers, which supplements the standard convention that chemists use for representing organic chemistry molecules, written in such a way that anyone unfamiliar with the convention can understand it…
“But the main point is that we often associate people with disabilities as consumers of innovation. But people with disabilities can well be producers or generators of innovation as well. What is required though is an opportunity to innovate, an opportunity to experiment, and an opportunity to pursue one’s passions. And who is it that will provide this opportunity? You.
Asked about inclusion and how we ensure that no one is left behind in employment and education, Kartik responds: “It often happens that we have to face insensitivity from the government, from educational bodies, from our classmates too but I think that rather than simply blaming it on the government to do something on our behalf or expecting the NGO’s to do something, we also have an important role to play. Disability is nothing more than a nuisance. You can do pretty much anything that you [want to] do, just show them.
