Description: These facts were taken from the National Institute of Health data from 2015. There are approximately 280 million legally blind people in the world, 36 million of those individuals are totally blind, but get this! Less than 10% of those individuals are completely blind and have no light perception. Interesting to think that the majority of blind individuals in the world have some form of eyesight or light perception, I was even surprised to find out what a small minority I am in. And like I said in the video, instead of feeling down and discouraged because I’m in such a very small rare group, I choose to turn it around and find the light in the midst of my darkness! And speaking along the lines of positivity, do you know what else I realized after losing my complete eyesight and light perception? Well, on the bright side, I never have to worry about losing anymore Hahaha! #JoyIsAChoice #Blind #Vision #Perspective #Minority #Special #Unique
