Zac Adair is terrible at lining up the bumper stickers for the back of his wife’s car. He’ll occasionally stub a toe on a random bag of dog food in the middle of the kitchen floor.

These are the blurry-eyed perils of life when your sightlines are about the size of the opening for a pinhole camera. The legally blind Adair shrugs them off as just another set of hurdles for the day.
