David Paterson is legally blind. He lost most of his eyesight when he was a baby and he contracted an infection which damaged his optic nerve. He doesn’t need a cane or a trained guide dog and he can see a few shapes as well as a person who is very close. Even with this condition, Paterson has done things most of us will never achieve. Next week he will be promoted from Lt. Governor of New York to the top Governor’s post.
