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.
