You don't need eyesight to have vision.

Subject: LVTF has been good therapy
When I went to the Visually Handicapped Programmer Training Course back in
1974 I made a great personal discovery. I used to think I had a character
defect because I was always loosing things. When I got to the training, I
found that at any time on any given day, somebody was looking something
they misplaced. Having difficulty finding stuff is a natural artifact of
not seeing well.
This group also helped me feel a lot less isolated. It helped my understand
a lot of my own frustration.
Lines that run off pages are not support for reading, they are a barrier.
All our lives we have been given a barrier to reading, and we are told it
is support. That is the kind of double think that makes people crazy.
