I am partiallly sighted and registered blind with my local authority.I am very slow to react to movement amd depth of field.The only thing you can do is get on with it and don't worry.I manage to play golf and have a handicap of 19,you learn to adapt that's all.O! accept you are going to get shot up alot.

On most of the games I do quite well. It would be better if the developers just take it into account.

An interesting article, but I had to double take at the end as I thought someone had put in a Bioshock reference on the sly
