A routine physical for 28 year old John Powers led to an eye specialist informing John that half his sight was gone. He had no idea. A degenerative eye disease (choroideremia) would eventually lead to blindness. 30 years later, John recounts what helped and hindered him on his “challenging and messy” journey of sight loss.

This is a candid narrative in which denial and resistance eventually gave way to acceptance and the assistance of a supportive community and the riches of his Christian faith.

“I think there are others out there who get a life changing diagnosis, and all of a sudden, they have to find a new way forward.”

    Seeing Sight Loss From the Other Side - S2 Ep5
    Oct 26 2026

    John sits down with his wife, Ann, in Part 1 of a 2 part interview, to talk about what 30 years of sight loss has been like from her side.

    She talks about the various emotions that have come with watching him struggle, and the low vision specialist appointment where John finally said, "I heard him." Along the way there's plenty of humor, including a question about who is better company on a bad day, John or Gibbs.
