Through research assistance from Cardiff University Optometry Department, and interviews conducted at Sight Life Wales, I have endeavoured to present various form of Visual Impairment to a sighted audience through the use of experimental photography. These images have taken the form of Braille projections, Bandwidth CRT imagery and ink tank photography.

Each series of images represents and echoes specific forms of macular degeneration and Visual Impairment. CRT Bandwidth imagery speaks to colour blindness, ink tank photography evokes disease on a microscopic level and the projection of Braille conveys sight loss and mitigation in the mind’s eye.

The presentation of the final body of work in book form draws on typography and visual formulas associated with Optometry, including the use of Snellen charts and Optical Coherence Tomography.
