Have you heard of Dr. Glaucomflecken on youtube? (real name is Dr. William Flanary) He's an ophthalmologist who does comedy videos about medicine and they're hilarious. But they also help shed light on good issues and he's done things like partnering with the surgeon general on health care workers taking care of themselves. I think he would be a good person to work with if you had a public initiative.

Edit: Here's one of his video shorts entitled "How to ace your ophthalmologist interview" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-tl7s8aRHo

In the deaf community, I've read that there can be a sense of pride, in that they don't see themselves as differently abled- they would not ask for hearing ability even if they had the option. Have you guys noticed anything like that in the blind community?

I will definitely check out your book, thanks for writing on the topic. I guess do you feel transparent after all? ; )
