Vision Simulation    on the Line! EZ2C Foundation and the Radnor High School Girls Basketball team demonstrated the challenges of various vision conditions using goggles that produced the effects of macular degeneration, diabetes, glaucoma, and cataracts. Four girls stepped up to the foul line and tried their best to sink a shot. They all said the hardest part was catching the return ball, “it seemed to come out of nowhere” states one brave athlete. The crowd all applauded the efforts and all learned that vision loss presents challenges but with the right support and training the goals can be met.
