John never thought about his sight until he lost it

What if you had to face losing your sight? John never thought about his sight until he lost it.

"I couldn't do the things I used to; I couldn't even see my daughter's face. I lost my will to live. I was suicidal. "

John's story was tragic but not without hope, "RNIB has supported me in so many ways it is unbelievable".
