What’s it like to be a sighted child with blind parents?

Matthew Layton and Sam Rickard present Studio 1, Vision Australia Radio’s weekly look at life from a low vision and blind point of view

This week the second of three shows recorded on Matthew's recent unexpected last-minute trip to London.

Last week, we spoke to proud mum, obedient wife and Eye Clinic Liaison Officer at Great Ormond Street Children’s hospital in London Paula Thomas.

This week Paula’s beautiful fourteen year old daughter Charlotte joins us.

Paula and her husband Stuart both live with a vision impairment, but Charlotte is sighted.

What’s it like to be the sighted child of parents who can’t see?

In a warm, moving and often darkly funny interview Charlotte and Paula talk about their experiences and do some bickering.
