> Anyhow, in my late aunt's case, her central vision was useless long before her peripheral vision could give out. So she learned, somehow, to do things like read her smartphone using only her peripheral vision.
Humans are incredibly adaptable beings, and she proved it. :)
She'd been through a hell of a lot in her life, but it was always important to her to be pleasant company to the people around her, even in tough times. She was always joking and laughing and telling stories. RIP
All I can say is wow.
