BLINDISH AND THRIVING Your Complete Guide to Life, Purpose, and Joy After Vision Loss

I lost my sight… but I found myself again.

A powerful and honest journey of rebuilding confidence, purpose, and life after vision loss—combined with practical tools, accessibility support, and real-life guidance to help you move forward.

Blindish and Thriving is the complete, honest, practical guide to life after vision loss — written by Abi Crowther, founder of Blindish and Thriving, who was diagnosed with glaucoma in 2017 and has been living with significant sight loss since 2023. This book was built on one unshakeable belief: a vision loss diagnosis is not the end of your story. It is the beginning of a different one. And different can still be extraordinary.

Across 24 powerful chapters, this book covers everything the medical system never tells you.

What you will find inside:

How to understand your diagnosis and navigate the medical world with confidence

Your legal rights — benefits, registration, and everything you are entitled to claim

The emotional journey — grief, fear, anxiety, and how to genuinely move through it

Practical tools for daily life, mobility, assistive technology and adapting your home

Relationships, dating, family dynamics, intimacy and sex after vision loss — the conversations nobody else is having

Your rights at work, how and when to disclose, and how to keep thriving professionally

How to go self-employed, build a brand and dream big — because vision loss does not limit your ambition

The complete Thriving Toolkit — a practical resource you will return to again and again

The Thrive Mindset — redefining what a good life looks like and becoming your own unstoppable advocate

This book is for you if you were diagnosed yesterday or have been living with vision loss for years. If you are newly registered or have been managing quietly on your own. If you are struggling or simply ready to do more than cope.

It is also for the people who love someone with vision loss — the partners, parents, siblings, and friends who want to understand, support and show up in the right way.
