There's No Vision Like Low Vision - A Memoir

For more than 40 years, Tom Perski has helped people with macular degeneration regain confidence, independence, and hope. In this deeply personal memoir, he shares his own journey living with a rare juvenile form of macular degeneration—from the fear and isolation of early vision loss to becoming a world leader in low-vision rehabilitation.

More than a story about blindness or disability, this book is about resilience, purpose, faith, and the power of human connection. Perski reflects on the people and experiences that shaped his life and inspired him to transform personal struggle into a mission that has changed thousands of lives.

Written with honesty, warmth, humor, and compassion, this memoir offers readers:

• A firsthand account of living with macular degeneration and adapting to vision loss
• Encouragement for anyone facing adversity, change, or uncertainty
• Practical insight for families, caregivers, and professionals supporting people with low vision
• A hopeful perspective on finding strength, meaning, and joy despite life’s challenges

Whether you are experiencing vision loss yourself, supporting someone you love, or searching for an inspiring story of perseverance, Tom Perski’s memoir is a powerful reminder that challenges can become the foundation for purpose, connection, and a fuller life
