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. Hello? Hello? Hey, George. Sorry, you've just caught me relaxing.

Oh, hey man. Look at me. Isn't my face red? You caught me in the middle of a big relaxing sigh.

And to all the listeners, I invite you to open up wide.

I urge you.

I urge you, in fact.

Just, I think before we encourage the listener to have a big scream, because you went through

a little bit of a phase of that.

But now I think, if you're listening to this wherever you are, maybe you're out on a run,

maybe you're on the train.

Maybe you're just tucked up in bed, snuggly.

Let's hear you.

George, my friend, how are you doing?

Are you as relaxed as that, Si would suggest?

Oh, man, I'm very relaxed.

We are recording this on the evening of Sunday the 28th.

Sunday record, Sunday evening record.
