October is Blindness Awareness Month, AMA! Fun facts to start:
93% of people with sight loss have some level of sight, even if it's just telling the difference between light and dark.
Braille users are pretty rare (I've heard different percentages but all in single digits) so don't think slapping Braille on everything means you're done with accessibility.
We tend to be very poor. 75% of working-age blind people in the UK don't have jobs. People think being blind means we can't do most things.
