Dr Amit Patel on his experience of sight loss, and appearing at the Eden Project's Festival of Discovery
Imagine waking up one day and finding out you'd lost your sight.
It鈥檚 something that鈥檚 almost too horrible to imagine 鈥� but seven years ago, that鈥檚 exactly what happened to Dr Amit Patel.
A catastrophic haemorrhage robbed him of his sight and, ever since, Amit has been campaigning to show that a disability shouldn鈥檛 stop you doing what you love.
He鈥檒l be appearing at The Eden Project鈥檚 online Festival of Discovery this Saturday and, ahead of that, has been sharing his story with our weekend presenter Jack Murley.
