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.

Thank you. Hello? Hello? Now we're back to the normal, the way things should be, which is you, ring, me, and I say, hello, my dear friend, George.

This is as God intended, it's all natural, and it's exactly as it should be. Well, speaking of all natural, um, no, it's not what you think.

But I, uh, just, I just washed my hands just before we started this, uh, conversation

with a new purchase from, what's it, from Lush.

And I'm just looking now, and I believe I'm having some sort of allergic reaction to it.

So I don't know if over the course of this recording, if I start to like make goggling noises or

you can hear

I don't know big bulbous

pass balls like if you can hear them

you know what those sound like

oh please

please do keep us up to date during the record

and let us know how you're getting on

but whatever you do no matter what condition you're in by the end, do not put the phone back.

Absolutely not.
