SEE-THROUGH is hosted by Lance Johnson. Based in New York City, Lance is a video editor living with a rare and incurable eye condition called retinitis pigmentosa (or RP for short). In most cases, RP causes legal-blindness by the age of 40. Now 33, Lance uses SEE-THROUGH as a platform to explore his inevitable future of blindness through his transparent conversations with his guests.

As a blind woman myself, I totally relate to her and a lot of different ways. She is very inspiring. I hope to be able to find a career like she has instead of working on jobs here, and there, which is getting a bit harder with my vision. I don't think jobs in the blind or talked about enough.. or just how to make a living.

So true! It’s a grind. I think around 78% of the low vision community is unemployed or underemployed. Jobs like driving for Uber, bartending, etc. are just off the table.
