Susan’s Sight Site A Sideways Look At Life! |
|

|
This is the website of Susan Buckingham, who is a 73-year-old,
tap-dancing silver-surfing, incurably optimistic, registered blind person
who, literally, looks at life close up and sideways. |

This is
how you see me.
This is
how I see me. |
This is Susan sitting at her computer using Dolphin Supernova
software which provides magnification and a voice. She is unable to see the legend on the keys so, being a touch-typist,
she quickly learnt to find her way around the keyboard by touch; she makes
extensive use of short cut key combinations and hot keys. This picture shows the
obscured central area of her vision. By moving her eyes to the left and
peering closely at the screen using her right peripheral vision, she is able
to see the picture above. Her left eye is totally blind … but covered by a
beautifully painted, plastic, cosmetic contact lens! As you will see from the
following web pages, this does not stop her from making the most of life. In
fact, if you would like to read an article from the Southern Daily Echo about
her, click on the ‘Fame for 5 minutes’ link. |
