I low-key hate how much I don't know. these kiddos are explaining their issues and I'm like "I just thought it was blackness".

[SnghoHan]

Yeah, blindness can be in such a lot of shapes and severities. I have 80 percent less visual nerves than most people, and I can still see most things except small text and street signs. I can walk normally too, which caused me to have an identiy crisis at one point. I felt like I could not be categorized as blind, because a stereotypical blind person has no idea what light is, an nor I could be normal, because I have a hard time recognizing faces as well.

Being blind must be super hard :( You can't see colors and people's faces, or you can't see the world and some of it's amazing places. You guys are so strong and you proven that you can still live a good life even if you are blind. Love you guys💓

As a special education teacher who has worked with visually-impaired students in the past, it brings me to tears to see you empowering these young leaders! 😭 Thank you so much for educating us all, and this is the content our world needs more than ever! 💖

I love this my daughter is 5 years old and born with no eyes she goes to a mainstream school but is now starting to realise she is different to the other kids we keep telling her how great she is and she can try everything that everyone else does but still doesn't stop her asking me to give her eyes which is sad but she has mostly good days and tomorrow they are getting her bell ball out to play football with her friends. I tell her about you and everything you do sometimes she listens to your videos x

I just learned more about blindness in this two-and-a-half minute video than in the previous 40 years of my life.

Dear Lucy, even though you cannot see light, please know that you yourself shine so bright and your light makes the world a much better place. We love you.

I just want to say thank you so much Lucy for taking the time out of your day to meet us kids it really inspired me to meet someone living an amazing life even though they have no vision thank you Guide Dogs for organising this once in a life time opportunity we love you Lucy❤

[juliamarchetti]

I love how Lucy is just so positive with all the kids and herself and just really makes everyone appreciate who they are even if they are not all the same!

[sjbeard]

I have quite a bit of anxiety about telling people I’m blind because my blindness isn’t what they expect it to be and I don’t really look the part. Thanks so much for breaking down that barrier a bit Lucy!

[brittany]

I love how badly that girl wanted to give you a hug. Love that little nudge she gave you as you were saying goodbye.

[boogie_]

I love how she still faces whoever is speaking despite her not being able to see them. You can tell her parents still raised her with etiquette, vision or no vision ❤🙌! You really are the sweetest and thank you to these kids for helping me be more insightful to their conditions 💕

[TraumaDumpling]

Thank you Lucy and friends. This was interesting and it was so cute how Taya went to hug you at the end! So sweet! 🙏❤😻

[jakobirobi]

Good on these kids for talking about it. Talking about our weaknesses is never easy, and these kids are tougher than most not just for what they deal with everyday, but for talking about it and acknowledging it for what it is. You guys are inspiring to others, whether you realize it or not. Stay strong, you guys.

Taya's sweater says "Makeup addict" when you include the braille, in case anyone's curious

[ananass]

I loved that hug at the end. That was adorable

[Nooneisherenow]

I didn’t know blindness was a wide spectrum so thank you for educating us! ❤

[CrayCrayslab]

This was lovely, thank you for spreading awareness and teaching us so much

[jhollybee]

Thank you all for sharing your personal experiences & helping us understand a little more about a range of different visibility impairments & what has caused them. 💛

Love this! I have severe keratoconus and I was blind for a few years in one eye until I had the surgery. It has about 60% vision now! My vision is still very unique and different afterwards
