Empowered to Educate - with Pieter Lindeque

In this inspiring episode of Retinal Realities, we sit down with Peter Lindeque, a passionate educator and founder of an online tutoring platform designed for learners with Stargardt’s disease and other visual impairments. Diagnosed at age 10, Peter’s path was shaped by uncertainty, resilience, and the unwavering support of his family. His story is a testament to the power of education—not just as a tool for learning, but as a weapon for transformation.

Peter shares how perseverance and purpose helped him overcome self-doubt and build a mission-driven platform rooted in patience, inclusivity, and lifelong learning. His philosophy as an educator reminds us that great teachers don’t just teach—they inspire growth, confidence, and possibility.

Tune in to discover how Pieter turned personal challenges into a movement for empowerment, and how his work continues to light the way for learners navigating life with low vision.
