Welcome to the World of the Blind.

This page is a brief look at what it's like to be blind and how I, as a blind person, go through life with a little help from my friends and my family.

My name Ximena (Hee-Menna) Perez and I am partially blind.  I wasn't born this way, when I was young I was hit by a van which damaged my optic nerve.  I was left with only 7% vision or 20/300.  It doesn't sound like a lot, but I can see quite a bit.  I can see colors and people, I just can't see little things, details and things at a distance from me.  I also have, what's called tunnel vision. 
This picture is what you see with regular vision.

This is an example of how I see the world.
Although my life was changed severely by the turn of events, I don't let that slow me down.

Please take a moment to look at my life and enjoy learning about me.
