So I went for my visual field and the doctor told me that my peripheral vision is holding and has been stable for the past five years. This is really wonderful news and I feel so lucky. It reminds me to be grateful for what I have and will hopefully put me onto a patch of positive land for a while.

I am a writer, going blind in Los Angeles. This blog is my story of a slow approach to darkness as I traverse through the rubble of urban life. It is what I see in the withering spaces of my remaining vision. It is humor and despair and darkness and light. It is what I witness as the world slowly disappears.

HI Alexander –
I wish I could tell you that I know of a treatment for our condition, but as far as I know there is none. I have just been fortunate in that the progression of my RP has been relatively slow. It is such an unpredictable disease. How much vision do you currently have?
