Published on July 14, 2021, a thought-provoking video essay by James Robinson, a filmmaker from Maine, offers a unique glimpse into the life of someone living with disabling eye conditions.
Using creative graphics and enlisting his family as subjects in optical tests, Robinson invites viewers to experience the world through his eyes, highlighting the challenges he faces in a society that often fails to accommodate people with disabilities.
As Robinson poignantly puts it, "I don't have a problem with the way that I see. My only problem is with the way that I'm seen."
His video serves as a powerful appeal for greater understanding, recognition, and compassion towards individuals who are commonly perceived as different or not normal.
