Tommy Edison, who was born blind, and James Rath, who is legally blind, talk about and demonstrate the differences between being blind and legally blind. They discuss how they each experience fireworks, if they can drive a car, how do they take a photo, and when they write print. Tommy’s blindness is caused by an underdeveloped optic nerve and James’ blindness is caused by albinism and nystagmus.

This is part 2 of our video, "What Are The Differences Between Being Blind & Legally Blind?" youtu.be/kF3aKjExrRQ We answer a few more questions that didn't make it into the first video.
