“But you don’t look blind!”
If you’re blind or partially sighted you’ve probably heard this comment before. However, on the surface I agree with you. I can’t possibly be blind if I look at you, use my phone or look into the camera for a picture. On the other hand, I can be registered blind and do all of those things.
