Few weeks ago, I became the first person in the UK to have the entire ABCA4 gene injected into the retina.
I don't know what my vision will look like on the other side. But I know the first thing I want to do.
Go to the cinema.
If you're navigating Stargardt's, this one's for you.

Excited for this new learning experience! #visuallyimpaired #legallyblind #braille #free #Hadley #stargardts #maculardegeneration
Had to break out the calculator today. I was diagnosed with #Stargardts 39 years ago in 1986. Even though I still have functional vision, and my eSight Go for when I need/want it, I have decided to start taking #Braille classes.
I don’t use FB often but why does the font have to be so small. Bluesky is superior in almost every way. #legallyblind #stargardts
Being visually impaired means you don’t see your #cat on the top of the dresser until you are right next to it. #visuallyimpaired #legallyblind #stargardts #boo #cheza
I love when EZ Pass texted me 1. We don’t have any toll roads in our area and 2. I haven’t been able to drive for 25 years and no cars are in my name. Bring it on, scammers!! #legallyblind #stargardts
All my spreadsheets are at 193% with a font of 20. #stargardts
The sucky part about not being able to drive: I either have to get STBX to take me to his parents house this weekend while he is there or, I take off work on Tues or Wed and have my son take me. It is 2 hrs away so not a “quick trip”. #legallyblind #visidallyimpaired #stargardts
Bind off going very slow but steady. Not even 1/2 way done but I am hungry and I have a work call in less than 20 min. Will get back at it again after that. #shawl #knit #knitting #miyukibeads #picotedge #fiberartist #visuallyimpaired #stargardts
I was diagnosed with #Stargardts Macular Degeneration when I was 6. Declared legally blind at 20 and discovered eSight when I was 43. I was hired in 2023 as a Coach.
