  • LCA
  • Posted: 2009-12-30 19:59:11 By Holly S
  • I have had LCA since I was born, and have very little vision. I can see light, and patches of dark when there is a large object like a wall. I've never had colour vision, so the dark patches aren't even black. I don't really know how to describe them, but i'm sure people with similar vision understand.

    Though i live in the UK I am curious as to what sporting oppurtunities are offered to people with the same sort of vision level as me. I'm sure that it'll be pretty similar as it is in the US.

    I'm 15 and I do take part in sports and things with fully sighted people my age, but was interested in what's offered for visually impaired people. I do take part in british blind sports athletics, but as that's only really in the summer it leaves the rest of the year quite empty.

    I do a lot already, as I swim and sometimes play goalball (although I don't really enjoy it all that much), but want to make sure I can take every oppurtunity there is.
