I'm an HO modeller and also consodered changing scales, to O scale in my case. This was after I had eye surgery myself, six times on the left eye, which unfortunately, wasn't successful and I went blind in that eye. At the same time, I had a retinal detachment in the right eye, fortunately, that was successful in that I can at least still see and can (just) pass the driver's eyesight test. Having only one eye now makes things like soldering and such rather difficult due to lack of depth perception. Luckily, my colour vision is still 100%, though I have a little trouble with very pale yellows and pinks as, unless I can compare them with white, they to look white. As I also earn a living as a sometime stage lighting designer, vision is somehwhat important to me. :-) Bright light and an OptiVisor help for the modelling, as does a good dose of patience and knowing when to walk away from a modelling project before lack of patience results in the model ending up being thrown against the wall.
