4:30 yeah, I totally agree with you that arguement and that is actually the point. You need to make the best of it. In Germany we had before two weeks a blind connection festival two days. I'm still far away from that, however, to see how they manage their daily routine was interesting. Some were with the dogs totally independent and some need help. People who needs help, I guess they are not blind from the beginning or maybe they got a different kind of attitude...I don't know, the main message was, to watch blind people on this festival and how they did manage it. They are talking to each other even when someone is big and the other one skinny. No judgements, no nothing. You can clearly see (or maybe feel) the connection between these guys and I'm happy we have such festival for blind people, because blind people are still people :)
Hi! Thank you, this is an awesome comment! I completely agree with you, blind people are still people, and it is so cool how we can communicate with each other without passing on any judgment, we just except people for who they are and like I said in the video, generally what comes out of their mouth. I would have to say, that is probably one of the best attributes of being visually impaired and not being able to see people, the lack of judgment in this community. Thank you so much for sharing about the festival, that sounds really interesting. Some people definitely do adapt very well especially if they had low vision or blindness from a very young age. Thanks again for watching this and for being on this channel, it means a lot to me! Have a nice weekend, I look forward to talking with you again soon. Matt
Thank you for your description of your functional vision, Matt. It is always so interesting to hear what each of us sees and interprets with air residual vision. It is fascinating how well we can use this limited vision to function as well as we can. It is so hard for sighted people to understand that we use the little vision we have two its best advantage. Thank you so much for sharing.
Good morning! Thank you very much for the positive feedback on this video, it’s always nice to hear what people think of the videos and if they are informative or not. I agree, most sighted people are very confused about the whole idea of visual impairment, like perception, and blindness. It’s very cool how all of us have a variation of vision loss, but yet we learn how to adapt and work with the usable vision that we have. Even if it is just like perception, we learn how to adapt and use different techniques to utilize that little bit of vision that we do have to make our life a little bit easier. Thank you for the great comment, it was a lot of fun to read this one. I appreciate having you here on this channel, thank you so much for your continued support and friendship, it means a lot to me! Have a great weekend, I look forward to talking with you again soon :-) Matt
Thanks for sharing mat! Great video is always.
This channel is the perfect mix of fun and information!
Hi! LOL, thank you for that feedback. I’m glad to hear that, that is the perfect type of channel! How did your move to Miami go? Are you there safe and sound now? Have a great weekend, Matt
Yes, we made it down safe and sound. Thank you for asking. We have been here for a few weeks now. My parents and several other family members live here, and it is where I was born and lived most of my life, so it’s all good. Just forgot how hot it is here in the summer after living several years up north. We might have to head back up once September rolls around and the nice fall weather doesn’t roll In down here.
Javier Diaz good morning my friend! I’m happy to hear that you made it down to Miami safe and sound. It is so cool that your family lives down there and that that is where you grew up. I think I have only been to with the Miami airport, but never explored Miami. Maybe Corey and I will need to make our way down there once the cold weather hits up here in Minnesota. We love to have excuses to get out of here any chance we can between the months of November and April, which is when it is very cold here. I hope you have a great Monday! :-) You’re a cool dude, I’m very I am very happy to know you :-) Matt
Great video Matt! You made a very good point and this is one reason why I feel blind people are so awesome! Because we can not see, we judge more by the heart instead of by sight. If more people would do that instead of superficially with looks, I feel this would be a much better world!
Good morning Doug! Great point, I completely agree. It’s hard to admit, but let’s be honest, all of us judge people based on their appearance as we approach them, or as we see them across the store or anywhere. The cool thing about being someone who cannot see their appearance, we don’t have the ability to judge based
Hey Matt, so many good points in this video. It is so cool that you can see the moon! I can only see it in my periphery because my vision is central loss first, spreading out to the periphery. And just like you, I can see that it is bright outside but I need to feel and see if I am in the shade or standing in the sun. You also bring up a great point about not being able to see peoples facial expressions because I understand that many, many people walk around with a pouty face or a mad face or a worried face or a preoccupied face and we, the visually impaired, miss all of that negative stuff. You bring out some really good points in this video . Oh, and the black and white contrast color identification, same with me. I make a big mess in the laundry room sorting clothes because the light Hass to be just right for me to have a pile of light clothes and a pile of dark clothes to do the laundry.. Sometimes a sock will actually change color while I am holding it. It first is black and then the next time my eyes see it it’s now white. LOL. Thanks for your perspective on light perception. There are so many similarities in us all. Hope you have a great weekend and look forward to your video on Monday
Good morning Beverly! I always enjoy reading your comments because I feel like you always have something so interesting to say. This was really fun, it’s cool that you can also see the moon out of your periphery, that is similar to me as well. LOL, I love the sock story when you were sold sorting laundry. I like how it changes color, I do that too. If the lighting is not perfect, I will look at an item and it will literally change color from every time that I look at it. It is so interesting how both of us see, it actually sounds like our vision is very similar. I also wanted to mention, I did receive your email the other day and I did read it a couple times, I have not had a chance to reply quite yet. Thank you for your patience and understanding. I will definitely reply to you soon :-) thank you once again for sharing all of your experiences and adventures that you go on with Gretchen, that is very exciting and encouraging, it makes me want to get a guy dog now. :-) I hope you have a great weekend, and thank you again for being such a special friend to Corey and me :-) Matt
Excellent Thank you very much matt hope you’re having a good weekend take care my friend
Hi my friend! Thank you so much, I’m glad that you enjoyed it. I hope you also have a great weekend, keep up all of the great work with your martial art arts, that is so cool! Have a great weekend, will be talking again soon :-) Matt
Good description and very informative.
Good morning! Thank you, I’m glad that you found this video to be informative with great descriptions! That is very helpful, I appreciate the feedback! Have a great weekend, and thank you so much for being here :-) Matt
I also describe it as, if the person was in a dark room and you turn the light switch on they would know there was a light on. When we talk about people who have no light perception the person would not know the light on in a dark room.
Hi! Thank you for watching this video and for reaching out, that is actually a great example! I really like that, I may use that in one of my videos at some point. I completely agree, I love that interpretation, it is very simple, but yet it shares a great example of what light perception is. As I think about that, sometimes when I’m in a room if the light is on, I cannot tell that it is on or off, I need to actually looking directly at the light in order to tell if it is on. Thank you again for watching this, it’s so nice to hear from you and I sincerely appreciate having you here on this channel and in this community :-) I look forward to talking with you again soon. Matt
Great explanation.
Good morning, thank you Chris! Glad to hear that you concur! Have a great weekend, I look forward to some more grilling videos! I am using my favorite blind grilling mug right now :-) thank you once again, I love it! Your friend, Matt
Hi Matt how’s it going? I hope you’re having a great weekend. The description of light perception is exact and right on. Yeah it’s amazing how people think you may or may not be able to see because they are not experiencing low vision themselves. However as we both now we can actually see Light. What a great explanation, thanks for sharing and being the voice of communication is it this community.
Hey Lenny! Thank you, the weekend is going great so far. I hope yours is going well also! I hope you’re able to spend some time with your family and enjoy the beautiful California weather! Thank you, I appreciate your feedback on this video and the video topic regarding light perception. I always appreciate hearing from other people about my videos and whether the information that I’m conveying is accurate. :-) Have a great Saturday afternoon and evening :-) Matt
I love watching your videos, they bring back so many memories. When you were first starting out, I had a vivid memory of my Grandpa Phillips. He had RP and lost his sight in his 50s. I remember going to his house when he had the chicken. It was a white chicken and the grass was that beautiful summer dark green. He was bare footed, running around in the back yard chasing that chicken because he wanted to mow the lawn. The chicken had to be put up first, but it was so funny watching him chasing that silly bird. He caught her! lol, but I don't think she was around much longer after that. He didn't think it was funny at all!
LOL, I love the chicken story! That is so funny, I can certainly understand why you would enjoy that memory. I would love to have witnessed that, I have previously seen some pretty funny things in my life, but watching someone chase a chicken around the yard trying to catch it without also be pretty entertaining. LOL :-) thank you for the very nice words, I’m so glad that you enjoyed the videos on this channel! Thank you again for being here, it means a lot to me :-) have a great weekend! Matt
One thing god bless you and your family you keep us going
Hi Matt Great video 😊 Have a lovely weekend.
Hi Tony! Thank you, you also have a lovely weekend! It is always so nice to hear from you, you are such a special friend :-) huge hugs, Matt
That's the coolest thing about blindness, I don't judge appearances. I have more remaining vision, I can see colours and I can see what people are wearing, but I can't see facial expressions at all.
I wrote a short story with a character who has light perception. There's a lighthouse in the story and this character can see the movement of the lights. Good to know this is actually possible, since my eyesight is not the same as someone with light perception only.
Great video like always.
Hi! That is so cool about your short story that you wrote, that sounds so cool! It’s nice that you’re still able to see what people are wearing but on able to see facial expressions, that’s all right. I agree, it is nice to have those aspects of being visually impaired, not having the ability to judge people, although, it is a little bit difficult when in a conversation to read and understand the nonverbal’s like facial expressions when you cannot see them. Either way, thank you so much for sharing about your short story, sounds awesome! :-) It’s always so nice to hear from you :-) Matt
@@BlindtoBillionaire thank you. Yes, conversations can get awkward. 😂
Ready for #BlindAbility this Wednesday.
Hi! That is so cool that you were ready for that #BlindAbilityThisComingWednesday!ThatIsSoCool,I’mVeryExcited,Thank youForRemembering:-)It’sGoingToBePrettyCool!IWillGiveAReminderVideoOnMonday.IfYouWouldLike,YouCanAlsoDoWithThe #BlindToBillionaire:-)Matt
I have retinitis pigmentosa also. Love your channel, saw you had commented on joy Ross video and had to come check it out! So relatable.
Hi David! Thank you very much for watching this video and for reaching out to me. It’s always fun to connect with other people who have a retinitis pigmentosa. It’s cool that you saw me over on Joy’s channel, she has a great channel and it’s always fun to watch and follow her life. Thanks again for being here, I sincerely appreciate your support for me and this channel! I look forward to talking with you again soon. Matt
Thanks for addressing what and how you see. When people ask me about my field of vision, I have difficulty describing. And since it takes more than one sentence, I usually trail off. I can't see facial expressions but I realize no one's that interested. They're probably sorry they asked. It's frustrating because I can't quite understand my own vision.
Good morning! I’m glad to hear that you found this video to be helpful and informative. I hope you don’t feel frustrated when people ask you about your vision, it is actually very difficult to explain what we see. Like I always tell people, it is difficult to explain because it is literally different in every situation and in every lighting. I might be able to see a little bit in some lighting, while I cannot see anything in other lighting. There are a variety of other factors and it seems like our vision changes day by day, almost hour by hour. Hopefully this video gave a couple ideas on how you can more easily and accurately describe what your vision is like. What I have found is that regardless of how detailed we are trying to explain our vision, in most cases, most people do not understand anyway. They are still confused by the whole concept. Please feel free to reach out anytime, I’m here for you to discuss anything :-) you’re a great friend and I’m very happy to know you! Have a great weekend, and thank you once again for being here, I look forward to talking again soon :-) Matt
Blind to Billionaire That's exactly it. Lighting has to be perfect not that I could explain what perfect is. Daylight makes things too bright even when it's cloudy but night time turns everything pitch dark. Bright lights irritate me so I insist on dimming or turning off lights. But then ofcourse, I can't see a thing. Either way, I can't win. I know... I have to come to terms with the fact that I just can't see but I still have a habit of trying to see. 😭
Jordan mahony The blind world I was so touched by your reply to my comment. Thank you for reaching out to let me know that you care! I've never had anyone offer to hear me out especially when it comes to my strange field of vision. People like you make up for all the sadness in life
say hello that is so true! During the day it is too bright, at night it is too dark, but yet lights glare and often irritate the eyes even more. LOL. I typically find myself doing everything in the dark while at home at night because it is just easier. I cannot see in the dark, but at the same time I don’t have the bright lights shining and irritating my eyes. We are here for you anytime, just like Jordan said, we are also here for you and we are always available to listen :-) you’re an amazing friend! Matt
say hello that is very nice of Jordan, all of us care! I certainly do, you were always welcome to reach out to me at anytime, I am always here to listen and to connect with you whenever it is needed :-) you are a great friend and I value our friendship :-) Matt
Great explanation, I can totally relate to what you're saying as my site is pretty much exactly the same as what you're saying thank you again
Lois
Hi Lois! Thank you for the feedback, I appreciate that. It is very interesting that our vision is very similar, almost identical. That’s very interesting and I appreciate you agree and gave me great feedback regarding how I described light perception. Thanks again Lois, I’m always so happy to hear from you and appreciate you being here on the channel! Matt
Interesting description of your condition and how you feel and manage your life around it. Keep doing your excellent job. Have a good weekend. 👍
Good morning! Thank you, I’m glad that you enjoyed this description. Thank you for all of your continued very nice words, that is so thoughtful of you! Have a nice weekend, keep up all the amazing work on your channel as well! Matt
Very amazing video well done and keep up the great work mate
Thank you! You are always way too nice Richard, have a great weekend, and thank you once again! You’re such a nice friend :-) Matt
@@BlindtoBillionaire you are most welcome mate and thank you so much for your very beautiful comment and support and I hope you have a great weekend too
Very, very informative video. I hope you are having a great weekend.
Hi! Thank you, I’m glad that you enjoy this video and found it to be informative. I always appreciate the feedback! Thank you, I’m having a great weekend so far, I hope you are too :-) it has been a little while since I’ve heard from you, it’s so great to hear from you once again :-) I always enjoy reading your comments! Have a great rest of your weekend, I look forward to talking with you again sometime soon :-) Matt
@@BlindtoBillionaire yes Matt, actually I had a test for a job I had applied for Food Corporation Of India, so I used CZcams a little less, now I'll be regular . It feels really blessed knowing that someone notices your absence. Thanks Matt
Hi, that is so cool, thank you for sharing a little bit more about what you have been up to. That’s awesome! How did it go? I hope all is well with you. Oh yes, since I am so involved with all of my friends you’re on the channel, I definitely notice when someone goes missing. It’s great to have you back :-) have a great day, Matt
Interesting topic, when you talked about light at night though it for some reason reminded me of the last time i tried driving at night, all i could see was light i could not even see the semi trucks that where passing me, it scared the crap out of me so much that i gave up night driving.
Hi my friend! Wow, that sounds very scary. As much as I would love you to have your freedom and be able to drive, at the same time I’m very happy that you stopped driving. I want you to be safe, and it sounds like that was a very scary situation. I can completely understand how you would be very scared after that experience, wow, I would be too. Thank you for sharing the story although it was a scary one. I’m glad that you are all right and that everything is well :-) thanks again for watching this, I hope you’re having a great weekend! Matt
Great video, very informative! Thank you, hope you guys have a great weekend
Hi Brittany! Thank you, I’m glad that this give a little bit more clarity into light perception. I hope you also have a great weekend, it’s always so nice to hear from you! See you again on Monday :-) mad
Good evening young man :-) (Most people are young when compared to me lol )
I like this particular video. Because I only lost most of my vision this last year or so, I still remember peoples faces, places, trees, flowers, grass, the sea etc - so, even though I don't see it now (I see light, and I see very blurred shapes - just don't see the detail), I still kind of feel like I know what everything looks like. Its only when I meet someone new, I haven't a clue. I entertain myself sometimes, by thinking that none of my friends will every get any older in my eyes, as I will always picture them as the last time I saw them :-).
I think loosing my sight has made me a much more appreciative man. This sounds a little stupid, but, sometimes I don't like the dark, as now, dark to me is very very dark, and, I see as you do, if there is a light in the dark - I don't see the source of the light as in if it is a round bulb etc, but I see the light in general. So, I see nothing when its dark, and that's one thing I hate about being blind, that I can't see things in the dark anymore - so, it makes me quite afraid sometimes
Anyway..great video
take care
love to Corey x
Love you're content Matt❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️
Good morning! And thank you! I’m so happy that you enjoy it, it’s always fun to hear from you :-) I hope you have a great weekend!😘😘😘😇😍😍😋😋😉
Blind to Billionaire YW Matt😊
Hey Matt, how’s it going my friend it’s been a while. I haven’t had the time to necessarily comment but I’ve been watching. I often wondered what people saw with light perception. Thank you so much for sharing, I have a greater understanding of what that means. Much love to you and yours my friend. Stay awesome!
Hi Jason! It’s on us to hear from you, thank you for continuing to watch, that is very nice and generous of you! I’m glad that this video was helpful sharing what it is like as a person with light perception. I’m glad this video gives a little more clarity. Thank you, you continue to be awesome yourself! Have a great weekend, thank you again for reaching out, it is very nice to connect with you once again :-) you are a great friend! Matt
great video
Good morning, thank you Neil! Glad you enjoyed it :-) I hope the new phone is going well! Have a nice weekend, Matt
Hey Matt.
Another awesome video buddy! I haven’t gotten to that point where I can’t see the light door blade perception yet or have light perception yet. At least I don’t think I have it yet. I know that some days are very cloudy and I find myself having to try to find like a like a slit in the cloudiness in order for me to see what I’m trying to see or read or anything like that. And even that’s not possible either.
Again another great video buddy and I hope you and Corey have a wonderful weekend together and we will see you next Monday. Sending you guys both lots of love and a great big hug.
I was curious, what is the ranch I have an apartment up there where you guys live?
Hi Stephen! I want to first start off by saying, huge hugs to you! Huge hug from me and from Corey :-) thanks for being such an amazing friend, I know I say that every time, but I truly mean it, you are a very special friend to us :-) thank you for sharing more about your vision, I’m glad to hear that you still have more usable vision even though some days it can be tough and your vision can be variable. I feel like that is consistent among many people in this community, it seems like our vision is different day by day and in every situation depending on lighting and a very and a variety of other factors. Thank you, you were way too cool Way too cool, thanks for being our amazing friend! Hugs, have a nice weekend :-) Matt
My right eye is like that blurry light perception. My left has central vision still
Hi Melany! Good morning! Thank you very much for reaching out with a little more clarity on your vision. That is very interesting that you have light perception in one eye with a little bit better acuity in the other. Based on what you can see with the eye with light perception, do you think that I explained it accurately in this video? Thanks again for watching this and for being here, I always appreciate hearing from you and all of your continued support! Matt
This reminds me a couple weeks ago i was asked to look at some writing on the wall to my left while looking straight ahead, my response was what writing the wall looks blank, come to find out when i did look to my left not only was there writing on the wall but a clock as well.
Hi, that is interesting. That would be the same situation for me too. Don’t feel bad, but I guess it makes you realize how limited your peripheral vision is on that side. Thank you for sharing! Matt
Thanks for sharing your prespective on how you see life. Great video. Btw you stole Corey's upload day lol
Good morning Thomas! LOL, I know, I still Coreys upload day. That is OK, you will see more of her sometime soon! I’m glad that you enjoy this video and that it gives a little more clarity into late perception. You were way too cool, thanks for being my friend :-) I hope you have a great weekend! Matt
@@BlindtoBillionaire you are welcome. Thanks you too
Great video Matt enjoyed listening. Like you if the moon is full enough or big enough I can see it not clearly though just around fuzzy light.
But what is strange for me as I literally believe I lost the ability to see a certain spectrum of light. Why do you ask? Well, it's because when I look at the night sky I don't see black or Stars. I see the most brilliant hue of hot pink. It's actually very beautiful. And the crazy thing is when I see the trees they're not pink at all they're just a solid blob dark color fort Greene only this guy legit is a hot pink.
I started to have the hardest time to terminate gorgeous thing wishing colors from one another. My vision seems to be stable to me however my color vision has been getting worse and worse.
However I will say during the day if I'm wearing sunglasses or if the sun is not my face the sky still the most brilliant blue. And I can still see some of the clouds in the blue as have to cherish the site we have wild you still have it.
Good morning my brother! Thank you for sharing that, that sounds so interesting. I love the fact that you can still see the sky and the clouds in some circumstances and how the sky glow is pretty colors. It doesn’t matter what the sky looks like in reality, but whatever your reality in your mind is is what matters. It sounds like you enjoy a beautiful sky and scenery, which is amazing! I hope you had a great weekend, and nice start to your Monday as well :-) Matt
I have the same. Light oerception
You may want to bring up the fact that you do not generally wear sunglasses indoors, and that not all blind people do. This can be because someone’s eyes may not look good, so they are self-conscious, or bright light can be painful. Then of course the ever popular, but you don’t look blind.
Good morning! LOL, oh yes, I love that statement, you do not look blind, you’re looking at me, you were making eye contact, you were not blind. LOL. That is a good one! We hear that all too often. Yes I understand, some people wear sunglasses because they’re self-conscious of the way that their eyes look. I sometimes like to wear sunglasses simply because I am not able to make eye contact very well, so it is a way for me to conceal and hide that I am not able to make eye contact. Thank you for pointing all this out, I always appreciate reading your comments as you always have something very informative and intelligent to say. Have a great Wednesday, thanks again for reaching out :-) Matt
Was up Matt hope you and Corey are having a great day😊
Thank you! You are always sweet to nice. I hope you’re having a great day too, have a lovely weekend! And thanks for being our friend :-) Matt
Blind to Billionaire back at you😊
Can you see the colors in Christmas lights?
Good morning! Thank you for the question, to answer that for you, no, I cannot distinguish the colors of Christmas lights. I can see the bright light, but I cannot determine what color it is at all. I hope that answers your questions :-) it’s great to hear from you again, I hope all is going well for you :-) Matt
Okay.. Confused as to why he's always looking off to the right side of the camera. First, I feel like you know where you set the camera down or you have someone around who can tell you where to look. Or, like Molly Burke does, just put your light behind/slightly above where your camera is so you know where to look.
And then he'll randomly glance down at the camera! You know where it is! Just look at it!
rach LOL, are you serious right now? Clearly you didn’t listen to the video. I can’t see the camera. If I could see the camera, I would look at it. Sorry my vision isn’t perfect like yours so that you can set the camera down and look exactly where it is. I cannot see the camera, that is why I am always looked up to the side or above, below, or somewhere other than at the camera. The entire time during the video, I am trying to look for it which is why you may see me looking around and possibly happened to make eye contact with the camera.
You can tell if it is about to rain by the sense of smell
Hey Larry, that is so true, you can tell by the smell! That is so funny, there’s that one smell, I’m not sure how to describe it, but it smells the same each time. Very interesting, great point! Matt
Usually you can tell by the sound of thunder also if it is about to rain or not and sometimes you could hear the wind blow if it is about to be a bad storm out there.
Hey Larry! And good morning, you are very true, that is very accurate. You can typically tell by the smell, sound of the thunder, increase in wind speed and blowing, and sometimes the color of the sky if a person is able to see that. Very good points! Matt
@@BlindtoBillionaire yes! That's how I do it. Most of the time!
hi matt 😊 i have light perception too. .
Hi Molly! Thank you very much for watching this, that is interesting that you also have light perception. Do you think that I described it accurately? The way that I describe my perception in this video, do you think that is similar to how you see? Thank you, I hope you’re having a great weekend so far :-)😘😘 Matt
i can see my flashlight. very accurate.
Good morning Molly! That is great you can see your flashlight, I’m at happy that you can and that you carried around with you, that is very nice and keeps you safe! :-) Matt
great safety device 😊 extremely bright.
molly brainard good morning my BFF :-) that is very true, a great safety device :-) I always want my friends to always be as safe as possible, you are really cool, I’m so happy to know you :-) have a lovely Monday! Matt
