Lizzie Eastham and Sam Rickard present Studio 1 - Vision Australia Radio’s weekly look at life from a low vision and blind point of view. 

On this week’s show 

“Annette and Valda” 

How can losing sight reshape your identity; relationships; and daily life. We also ask what adaptations people make to rebuild and thrive.   

Lizzie talks to two women about how losing their sight changed their lives; how their connections to family and friends enabled them to recover; and how that has affected their lives going forward.   

Studio 1 welcomes any input from our listeners. If you have any experience or thoughts about issues covered in this episode or believe there is something we should be talking about.   

You may also be interested in joining our choir of angels and telling your story.

A special thank you to Valda and Annette.
