Matthew Layton presents Studio 1 – Vision Australia Radio’s weekly look at life from a low vision and blind point of view.

This week…

Matthew speaks to Neil Hansell who lost his sight and the bottom half of his left leg to diabetes.

Now, rather than curling up into a ball, Neil is putting himself out there, telling his story to help you avoid the same fate.

He’s also taken up wood turning again. 

With a lathe.
