Hi Gary, lovely to meet you on this list. You sound an interesting guy. I have light perception too, but I was blind due to permanent brain damage induced by a lack of oxygen during birth. I am also partially deaf and suffer from some physical difficulties as a result of cerebral palsy. Welcome to the list, and I look forward to hearing from you.
