Today on #TheDailyConnect we ask your thoughts on whether you think life has improved for you as a blind or partially sighted person? This question follows comments from the Shadow Minister for Disabled People Marsha De Cordova MP who told our Reflections programme on Sunday 29th July that she felt there was little or no progress for the blind community in the last eight years.

Also we hear how Nicki Kelly sees with her eye condition Optic Atrophy as part of our #HowISee campaign.

We also find out about a new support group for those with Macular Degeneration in the Shetland isles, and Lynette Proctor shares her thoughts on being a guide dog owner in our Paws for Thought.

Contact the show directly to share your thoughts by emailing [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) or find us on Twitter @RNIBRadio or on Facebook.
