    About this ebook

    Meet Vicki. Diagnosed with a rare eye condition aged four, she embarked on a rollercoaster journey of life with a disability.
    Vis-Ability introduces readers to Vicki in her early years. Following her diagnosis, readers witness her heartbreaking decision to have a prosthetic eye fitted at the tender age of thirteen. As her story continues, Vicki faces further problems with her remaining eye, dealing with chronic pain and a rare genetic eye disease.
    Describing the difficulties that she encountered at school and as she entered adulthood, Vis-Ability strives to raise awareness of vision impairment. The book contains advice on how to deal with a visual disability, as well as the variety of options on offer to those who are visually impaired. It is a story of positivity in the face of adversity and making the most of every opportunity.
