As great as this article is, the title should be "10 things I learned about accessibility by pretending..." I was hoping it might be about somebody who was 'blind' for a week in everyday life, and the potential shifts in their subjective perception of reality this might have caused.. it's something I've wanted to do for a while – anyone know of anything like that, actually?
Here is a tip from someone who lost his sight last year: If you suddenly see little black spots, don't f&##^ing wait and get your eye(s) checked out by a specialist at once! Have a deadline? A demanding client? Or perhaps it's just a really bad headache? Don't wait. I literally waited a whole week and thats waaaay to long and saw the curtain close (literally, that's what it looks like: a curtain closing). Finally (an…
Both of my father's retina detached and the only reason he can see today is because he got to the specialist in time for them to fix it. A matter of days can make the difference of vision for the rest of your life. Persistent black spots that "float" around your field of vision need to get checked out ASAP.

I bet I'm not the only one frantically checking their field of vision for anything resembling black spots after reading this. Glad you recuperated.

Seriously everyone, heed that advice. Don't wait. Both of my father's retina detached and the only reason he can see today is because he got to the specialist in time for them to fix it.

TLDR; they're pretty common (I've had them for years), but you should go get them checked out if you see a rapid increase in the number of them.

I think the same thing happened to the author Oliver Sacks, who wrote about it. He noticed it right before Christmas and lost some sight because no doctors were available during the holidays IIRC.

I've had several black spots that float around in my vision for over a year now. Is that a sign of retinal detachment? I visited the doctor and he said eye floaters were normal and people with myopia were prone to getting eye floaters.

We aren't talking about those black floaters here, are we? With constant you mean "fixed in position" I suppose. I think the same thing happened to the author Oliver Sacks, who wrote about it.
