I Fell Into a Fountain and Rare Perspective Co Turned It Into a Shirt

So here's a fun thing that happens when you are low vision: sit down on what you're sure is a marble bench, scoot back to get comfy, and discover it's actually the retaining wall of a fully functioning public fountain. In front of everyone. On video.

That story — my Hard Rock Casino fountain incident — is this month's Eyece Breaker Spotlight from Rare Perspective Co, in partnership with the Foundation Fighting Blindness. Every month, they turn one real moment from someone's life with vision loss into a shirt. This July, that someone is me.

I got to go deeper than just the fountain story too — talking about why I'm not giving up tennis (BLV tennis is very much on my radar), the accommodations I make every day without even clocking them, and the misconception I most want people to drop: that vision loss is all-or-nothing. It's not. I can see one thing clearly and completely miss another, and that's just how it works.

The best part? A portion of every Eyece Breaker shirt sold goes toward the Foundation Fighting Blindness. So my most embarrassing moment is now doing something useful.
