Mismatched shoes reveal dad's worsening vision

Andy Johnson's daily life took an unexpected turn when his wife, Danni, noticed he had dressed their son in mismatched shoes. This incident highlighted a rapid deterioration in Andy's vision, which had previously been diagnosed as retinal dystrophy. This genetic condition causes progressive tunnel vision and a loss of central sight.

The worsening vision led Andy to reduce his social interactions and daily activities, significantly affecting his confidence and his eldest son Finley's routine. The family faced the challenges of adapting to Andy's condition, with Danni providing crucial encouragement for him to re-engage with life.

With support, Andy learned to use a cane and eventually welcomed a guide dog named Pearly. The couple also adjusted their business responsibilities to accommodate Andy's capabilities. They now share their experiences on Instagram, aiming to raise awareness about living with vision loss and emphasizing the importance of cherishing each moment.
