Because I'm genuinely curious, here's a poll for my followers and anyone who sees this. Don't answer if you don't want to, I just want to get a feel for this.
Do you have sight, are you totally blind, or have some form of partial sight?
I'm mildly curious how many, if any, sighted people are seeing my posts/this poll, and how far my reach goes. I want to see the diversity in this aspect.
I'm fully blind

As for my response to this poll... If anyone was curious, I'm totally blind with only light perception. If lights are bright enough I can see them. I can't see the color behind them, I just see the lights themselves if they're bright enough, and close enough if they're not very bright.
@Kaliah Interesting to learn this about you. Thanks for sharing.
@Kaliah I'm what you would call a total total. Have been since the day I got here and will be when I leave. Not too manny things annoy me more than so-called blind people who actually aren't, who use the label when it suits their purposes but really shouldn't be able to claim it.
@Kaliah For all intents and purposes, I am totally blind. I can occasionally detect some light.
@MichiganPal I'm the same way. I'm totally blind but can see light.
@Kaliah Other than a slight bit of light perception, I'm totally blind.
@Kaliah Totally bind, no light perception whatsoever.
@Kaliah I was fully sighted, started wearing glasses in my thirties and had early onset cataracts in my late forties. Nothing is done for them until you are unable to see, basically.
@Kaliah I'm so short-sighted it's going to be partially if it keeps up soon
