Re: Blind suicide
 

If I went blind now, probably yes. But if I was born blind then probably no because I would not know what I was missing out on.

Dumb poll.

Half of my patients are "blind"-- very very few of them truly have No Light Perception. So you need to define your terms better.

About 0.005% of people even talk about killing themselves in the face of blindness.

What does this mean? That most "blind" people aren't completely "blind"?

This could also be construed to mean that all your patients are half-blind.

Exactly. Legal blindness is defined at 20/200 in the better eye. The range of vision between 20/200 and no light perception is huge, as is the range of function in these patients. Most people conjure up an image of a blind person who sees no light in either eye and this just isnt usually the case.
