AT Banter Podcast Episode 462 - There’s No Vision Like Low Vision: A Conversation with Tom Perski

This week, Rob, Steve, and Lis sit down with Tom Perski, a pioneer in low vision rehabilitation and assistive technology whose lived experience has shaped services for thousands of people with vision loss.

Diagnosed with Stargardt’s Disease at 19, He shares candidly about dropping out of college, grief, denial, and the long journey back through rehab, assistive technology, and ultimately a career helping others navigate the same path. We also dive into Tom’s new memoir, “There’s No Vision Like Low Vision,” which chronicles his journey and offers a hopeful, honest roadmap for anyone facing vision loss or any major life change.

If you or someone you know is newly diagnosed with vision loss, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
