It'll be a month before my eye exam. I have someone drive me to a poll hall and I am trying to focus my vision. I have a big blind spot on the left. The issue may be brain damage and not sight. Driving is what I can't do for now. I'm tough... I'll adapt. I wrapped a ring after a few poor efforts. I added matching, from scratch, earrings.

Without pictures, it didn't happen. I like your attitude!

I attempted one wrap today, but was not happy with it. Later I wrapped ring for a friend. It takes longer now. The copper feels good. Maybe matching earrings are in order. Do you wear optivisors? That might be a good solution for you. I was using a cycling head lamp. I misplaced it. What I'll probably need is prism/mirror adjusted glasses at some point. Night vision is less bothered. Save

Refined the ring size and did make a pair of earrings to go with it. I also made a complicated set of dangle earrings today. I'm wrapping a drilled round piece of blue magnasite now. Maybe pictures later.

I would say that I understand what your saying. Also, you are doing the right thing not driving. Lots of people are not smart enough to realize, driving with impaired vision is dangerous for others. You are not thinking of yourself but thinking of others. Very good man.
I turned my drivers license into the DMV. Close to the same reason.

I am legally blind, but may regain enough vision to drive again. It's a hard life depending on friends/neighbors.
I worked on necklace pieces last night.
