Low vision can redefine life in ways that most people never see.
By Loryn Ashley Declared legally blind as young men, Richard Godfrey, volunteer patient liaison at Schepens Eye Research Institute in Boston, and Richard Cohen, a journalist from New York, navigate their way around Boston as our cameras follow them. Something as simple as crossing the street presents a challenge to those with low vision. I take my cues from someone else, or I would stand and scan' in both directions using my peripheral vision. Godfrey asks as both men laugh. This sense of humor permeates their conversation and gives us a glimpse into one of the coping mechanisms both men use to deal with low vision.
