> Sorry to hear about your eyesight issues, dealing with that is always hard, but the good news is that there is life here.

You're awesome. Reading this made me tear up a little bit. There were a few blind software engineers at my previous workplace and I've always found it admirable. I wish you all the best.

As a software engineer, one of my greatest fears is losing my eyesight. I am currently not showing any signs of macular degeneration but having had LASIK, I am under increased risk of that happening. Had I known more, I would have kept my cornea intact. Now I feel slightly worried whenever I have problems focusing on text at night or getting blurry vision for a brief moment on occasion when I blink as these might be early signs.
