Born blind. Minimal sight developed over her first years. Never told she had limited vision by parents or school, Pat Vint thought she was clumsy and stupid. At sixteen, she dreamed of the freedom of buying and driving a car. Her parents told her she would never see well enough to drive. This was the first time she learned it was her sight and only her sight that was holding her back.


She began a fifty-two year journey Into Sight. First, good enough to drive - accomplished at thirty eight. Then, to conquer Nystagmus, a shaking of the eyes that made focus difficult. Finally, with the aid of prisms added to her lens, experiencing the world in three dimensions.


Pat Vint become a child and family therapist and never stopped trying to improve her sight. When she discovered Vision Therapy and underwent a process called Multi Sensory Therapy or MST, she took a huge step forward. But along with clearer sight came mental hurdles to overcome. Realizing what she had been missing all those years. Redefining herself.


This memoir, written as a series of diary entries captures the reader's imagination. Each one of us has some defining "handicap". How many of us have given in, given up, thinking "that's just how it's going to be"? Pat never gave up. And through her journey, we can experience the exhilleration as well as the challenges and fears of overcoming those roadblocks and getting what you've always wished for.


This journey Into Sight shows us all the wonders available for each of us if we only keep trying. Growth is sometimes frightening, sometimes exciting, but always inspiring and always waiting for us.

About the Author
Vint, Pat: - Pat Vint, LMHC was born blind, gaining some sight at two years of age. She was legally blind into her late twenties, yet obtained a license to drive in her late thirties. She never ceased to strive towards attaining better sight. Her dreams were realized over the past several years with the help of a team of Vision Therapy specialists. Pat is a retired child and family therapist. She spent her years in practice helping young children, primarily trauma survivors, and their families to heal and thrive. She identifies her life as a therapist as the most rewarding experience in her life. She lives with her much loved dog, Daisy, in a rural town in Western Massachusetts, a place full of lakes and forests she would never have had the privilege to explore without taking this journey Into Sight.
