Hi, I'm Graham Isidore.

I have a progressive eye disease called Caritoconis.

Because there are no visual identifiers for my condition, people don't think I'm losing my sight.

They think I'm a jerk.

Problems due to my vision, misspelling of words and emails, the

inability to recognize people from a distance, even the way my face looks during Zoom calls. All of that

is attributed to a snooty personality or general carelessness rather than my sight loss.

To try to combat that perception, I started talking about my vision in public,

and in my new podcast, it's called Short-sighted. The show is meant to give a sighted audience

some insight into the experience of low-vision people. So I hope you'll join me. Here's the first episode. My name is Graham Isdore.

You're listening to Short-Sited.

Kara Takonis is progressive.

That's the structure of the morning.

The loss of vision.

The sea is clear.

Sensitivity to light.
