So I'm in California speaking at a statewide conference for educators of the blind and visually impaired. I spoke on the extraordinary work being done to find the causes of inherited blinding eye diseases and the race to find cures for conditions like Macular Degeneration and Lebers Congenital Amourosis. After my talk a friend overheard a cluster of blind rehab professionals grousing about how the material I'd just presented would undermine their jobs. I kid you not! I kid you not!
