I have a condition that makes it more likely to lose my vision when I get older much faster than my peers, I'm decades out from this but this is how I'm getting ready. Some of this I'd probably be offended if someone brought up that I ''should'' do so I'd handle it with some grace but; Getting used to using audio readers and navigating with accessibility technology. Getting used to using shortcuts to navigate, where I don't need to see what options if I know I'm triggering them. I'm learning braille for fun while its just for fun.
All the best, not sure if it is helpful at all but its all I could think up <3
- ryanschneider 3y agoI’m in the same boat in that I’m losing my vision very slowly from an inherited retinal disorder. One thing I’ll add is I’ve started going to the gym as much as I can while I can, I figure I’ll be much more confident once blind if I have good core strength, and it’s probably much easier to learn good gym habits while sighted.
- User23 3y agoNear or totally blind persons can still get excellent coaching, but the most effective method involves physical contact. Some coaches aren’t willing to do that though. That’s true for sighted persons too. There is a pretty easy coaching technique to stop “butt winking” by providing pressure feedback, but that means the coach is has to have permission and be willing to push on the trainee barely above the buttocks. Needless to say most coaches in the USA don’t want to risk it.
