For those of us who have ever lost a contact, broken our glasses, experienced our aging parents’ macular degeneration, or have been in the company of someone who just can’t see something, The Way I See It is a path down memory lane. Through her own recollections, the author reminds us of moments when we, too, bumped into life. Fortunately, she adds a few words of wisdom to help us get through it the next time around. The Way I See It is a compilation of 21 depictions of the author 'bumping' into life, i.e., experiencing life with low vision. Each scenario describes an adventure (or misadventure) in the author’s life, categorized by daily activities, holidays, seasons, and travel, ending with a suggestion or two prefaced with the phrase 'the way I see it'.As one of 20 people in her family who are legally blind, Dr. Myers shares moments in her daily life. As she says in the beginning of the book, 'Similar to Forrest Gump’s box of chocolates, life with low vision is like going through a salad bar ... you never know what you’re going to get.' From hanging mismatched wallpaper and ruining Thanksgiving dinner to using make-up (try that when you’re blind!) and going to yet another job interview, the author shares the ups and downs of her life’s journey.
