My name is Graham Isidore.

I have a progressive eye disease called Caritoconis.

And maying I'm losing my vision has been hard, but explaining it to other people has been harder.

Lately, I've been trying to talk about it.

Short-sighted is an attempt to explain what vision loss feels like by exploring how it sounds.

By sharing my story, we get into all the things you don't see about hidden disabilities.

Short-sighted from CBC's personally, available now.

This is a CBC podcast.

I'm old now, you know, I'm just hanging on.

But I look all right.

Yeah, you look great.

I pick up a lot of, a lot of young ladies, a lot of younger than me, I would pick up at the bar, not to take home.

I mean, you know, old age caught up to me.

Were you ever married?

I was engaged one time. We got close to the marriage.

And all of a sudden she came up with all these horses.

She was always one to be in her own business and have her own thing.

And she didn't want to get tied up with a family or nothing.

Next thing you know, she had Trotters, racehors.

And her name was Pam.

And me and Pam made a perfect couple.

But she liked a party, like me.
