For over 14 years, Philip DiMeo, a talented cartoonist and social worker, led a double life, masquerading as a fully sighted person, while becoming blind. What prompted him to hide his condition? Pride, and fear that if his impending blindness were discovered he would lose all that was important.He concealed his vision loss, a secret that he believed could potentially ruin his life, but in hindsight opened doors. At most social functions, fearful that he would trip, bump into someone, or knock something over, his wife propelled him around. Ignoring warnings from his ophthalmologist, he continued driving despite a series of auto accidents which included driving onto railroad tracks while an oncoming train approached. Philip reveals that, despite diagnoses by three ophthalmologists and three optometrists, he denied having retinitis pigmentosa, an inherited degenerative eye disease that causes severe vision impairment and often blindness.When Philip finally confronted his disability, he found that the challenges of his vision loss were the springboard to achievements to come. Binoculars is a sensitive, amazing, and astonishingly revealing first-hand account of a man who achieves incredible feats with his courage and talent, while finally coming to terms with his blindness

Phil had a way of sharing his life experience that made me feel like I was going though it with him. I knew what it was like to be going blind and it was painful. At the same time, his sense of humor made it bearable and fun. His own response and what amazing things he has done with his life after accepting his situation was very inspiring. I highly recommend this book. It is a great read and a true story.

Nomination for an Award By Joan Hall Just found out that Binoculars-- Masquerading as a Sighted Person has been nominated for the following in the inspirational memoir category:The Books for a Better Life Awards is pleased to announce the honorees for the 19th Annual Awards ceremony. The event, hosted by television personality Meredith Vieira will honor Dr. Mark Hyman, founder of The UltraWellness Center and Director of The Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine, and Mark Tauber, Senior Vice President and Publisher of HarperOne, a division of HarperCollins Publishers.The sheer determination to live with impaired sight from childhood (mis diagnosis) to the loss of eyesight as an adult is truly inspirational. To coach a coed softball team to many championships, to having a book published and overcome the disability speaks volumes for Phil DiMeo's life force. On a personal level Phil has lifted the spirits of myself and many other through his cartoons and sense of humor. To have him as a friend is a gift.

By Marsha Raniewicz I worked with Phil the summer of 1968 at Koziesko Playground as the recreation directors. He was so much fun to work with and I never guessed that he had vision problems. He hid it completely. I absolutely loved reading his book and discovered what an amazing person he turned oujt to be. He was lucky to find a wonderful woman to be his wife and share in his experiences. I highly recommend this book to everyone--even those who aren't going blind. Great job, Phil. Hope you remember me.
