Original poster that shared this story wrote: "This is my sister in law. She's a super big gamer and a super nerd. Loves all things gameboy and xbox and Pokemon. She found out she has progressive cone dystrophy at 22. Before then, she was colorblind and very near sighted. As if that wasn't bad enough, her eye sight began to rapidly decline. She is beginning to lose all of her central vision and only has some peripheral vision left."

"She made a post on r/cyberpunk with some details about her vision. She is also trying to raise funds to get these cool ass glasses called ESight that she can use to manipulate her remaining site and give her some independence. Her whole life is screens that she now can barely see."

"This is her finally getting to try out ESight, and it was life changing. It kills me to think she has to go back to a world of static and darkness knowing how good it could be." If you want to help Amber, check out this: giving.esighteyewear.com/amber-yates
